Thank you for detailed explanation. I enabled "expandtab" in vim so that
I didn't realize the alignment is wrong. Now, I install 'linuxsty.vim'
to view the code. But checkpatch.pl didn't show the warning of space.
Here is my command:
`kernels/staging$ perl scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/staging/rts5208/rtsx.c`
Thanks,
MingChia
