In the kernel we would normally align the second condition to match the first one. I probably would have gotten rid of the parenthesis as well. I don't like double parenthesis around == because I reserve that for = assignment conditions. if (psecuritypriv->dot11PrivacyAlgrthm == _TKIP_ || psecuritypriv->dot11PrivacyAlgrthm == _AES_) { rtw_setstakey_cmd(padapter, psta, true, false); When you're changing just a couple lines like this you can get away with making multiple white space changes at the same time because the One Thing that the patch does is "Clean up a Condition". There is some flexibility in the One thing Per Patch rule, but you have to sell it in the right way. The patch description would be: Checkpatch.pl complains that this line is over 80 characters. We should use the "psecuritypriv" for consistency. It's not aligned properly and there are too many parenthesis. This patch just cleans up a condition, it doesn't affect runtime. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
