Hi Greg, I agree with you, that patch looks ugly. I came about this (non) coding style mistake by running scripts/checkpatch --file --terse on speakup_decp.c . I re-ran it just now on the unpatched version to check, and I get the following: drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_decpc.c:88: WARNING: Block comments should align the * on each line (And a bunch of other warnings regarding other lines) I remade the changes and when I run git diff I get the exact same ugly looking diff text. So I'm not sure if its a problem with my version of checkpatch or something else on my distro (Ubuntu 16.04). Any idea where to look at?
