That's fine for a staging driver, but it makes it hard to review, so you should probably break this up into pieces (i.e. one that only does the firmare stuff, and one that does the coding style stuff. > > diff -urN linux-3.13.1-orig/drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_driver.c linux-3.13.1-new/drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_driver.c > --- linux-3.13.1-orig/drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_driver.c 2014-02-03 13:34:50.489287314 -0500 > +++ linux-3.13.1-new/drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_driver.c 2014-02-03 14:12:20.059076489 -0500 > @@ -18,6 +18,33 @@ > * > */ > > +/* > + * In the original out of kernel Digi dgap driver, firmware > + * loading was done via user land to driver handshaking. > + * > + * For cards that support a concentrator (port expander), > + * I believe the concentrator its self told the card which > + * concentrator is actually attached and then that info > + * was used to tell user land which concentrator firmware > + * image was to be downloaded.

Trailing spaces on these paragraphs, checkpatch.pl should have complained about this. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
