Will change to a shorter name like below. enum acpi_oemlist_pred predicate; + i = acpi_match_oemlist(acpi_blacklist); > > + if (i >= 0) { > > + pr_err(PREFIX "Vendor \"%6.6s\" System \"%8.8s\" " > > + "Revision 0x%x has a known ACPI BIOS > > problem.\n", > > Put that string on a single line for grepping. checkpatch catches > that error, didn't you see it?
