Huh? What? I think you have mixed up staging and non-staging. In staging we apply this sort of patch all the time. This patch improves the code. It's the only warning of this type in the file. We will apply it. If you start down the path of worrying about "is this worth doing" then you end up wasting maintainer time and developer time. That's like an ambiguous thing, right? We try to avoid ambiguity and be mechanical and predictable. We won't apply patches which fix checkpatch warnings if the result is worse looking code. This might seem like an ambiguous judgement call to newbies but it is actually 100% predictable to oldbies. :P Anyway the v2 v3 stuff is supposed to be below the --- cut off so please fix that and resend. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
