There is no generic style asking for a blank line before a switch statement. You are actually adding a blank line separating declarations and code. Specifying the change as a "checkpatch fix" is also unnecessary. A patch subject of "[PATCH] staging: android: Add blank line after declaration" with no patch description at all is probably good enough. > diff --git a/drivers/staging/android/sync.c b/drivers/staging/androchd/sync.c [] > @@ -705,6 +705,7 @@ static long sync_fence_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, > unsigned long arg) > { > struct sync_fence *fence = file->private_data; > + > switch (cmd) { > case SYNC_IOC_WAIT: > return sync_fence_ioctl_wait(fence, arg); _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
