It's not something to resend over, of course, but for future patches. The word "fix" should only be used for bugfixes. The word "clean up" is the opposite and should not be used for changes which affect how the code works. It's pretty much kernel standard to separate fixes and cleanups as two different things. https://www.google.com/search?q=fix+clean+ups+linux+kernel A "syntax error" means something that breaks the compile. So I was expecting a fix for the compile. A better subject would be: "[PATCH] staging: dgnc: tty.c: clean up pointer white space" regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
