Checkpatch emits various messages. Struct ks_stdio_card contains a spinlock. It is never used. The data structure contains two fields, both of which are accessed in ways that don't seem to allow use of a spinlock. I am not fully qualified however to analyse this. Spinlock is either not correctly used or is defined and not needed. Fix whitespace errors/warnings/checks. Fix macro definition to clear checkpatch check and error. Kernelnewbie note: I am unsure how to broach issues like this when discovered. In a patch cover letter like this or some other way? Tobin C.
