I think It looks better than reported by checkpatch.pl. But I have a qeustion, if your patch is applied to checkpatch.pl file, a return type of "void *" line will be changed. for example, void * (*map_kernel)(struct ion_heap *heap, struct ion_buffer *buffer); => void *(*map_kernel)(struct ion_heap *heap, struct ion_buffer *buffer); in same file. right? If you confirm my question, I re-send my patch after fixing that line. And I have a patch which is same fix.
