Re: [PATCH] 68360serial.c : formatted into linux coding style

Can you change the Subject to include the word "Staging" so that we
know which subsystem this affects?  Something like this:

[PATCH] Staging: 68360serial.c: formatted into linux coding style

(Obviously we know because we're on the Staging mailing list, but
when all the patches get merged together in Linus's kernel they have
to have the subsystem marked).

Could you break that up into three separate patches:
1) fixing whitespaces
2) improving the readability
3) evil typedefs

        ^^^^^^^

This doesn't apply with patch -p1.
You should be able to apply the patch with:

cd path/to/src
cat raw_email.txt | git am

I couldn't get this to apply anyway.  Did you write it against
linux-next?  Your email client is line wrapping the text as well so
that's part of the problem.  Read Documentation/email-clients.txt.
Send the email to yourself first and verify that it applies with
git am and then resend.

This change here changes the typedef into a declaration (you didn't
remove the ser_info_t).  This typedef is needed to make the compile
work.  The compile doesn't work as it is, but there is no need to
break it more...
