What do yo/u guys think? Maybe use a more generic thing like the checkpatch type in_voltage-voltage_thresh_low_value, /* checkpatch-SPACING */ Even so, it might uglify checkpatch code a lot to check something like this per-line or per-block. And that likely would have to be per line in the code as checkpatch couldn't see when a patch block addition occurs outside the scope of a comment. I suppose inside checkpatch the "sub report {" function could be extended to look at the specific $rawline being tested for any "checkpatch" comment and if so, test if it's the specific $type. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
