As Richard Kennedy said, it makes grep less convenient. Put the format on the same line as the printk and use a newer checkpatch.pl. I think all these should become single line pr_<level>(fmt, args that fit before col 80); or multiple lines like: pr_<level>(fmt, args until col 80, more args if necessary); That may be a personal nit though. cheers, Joe _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
