From: Suniel Mahesh <sunil.m@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Split earlier patches into multiple commits for easy review as suggested by Dan Carpenter. Modified subject, description and in few patches both for better readability as suggested by Greg KH. Fixed the following issues reported by checkpatch.pl: Block comments should align the * on each line, aligned. Block comments use * on subsequent lines, other characters are replaced by * . line over 80 characters, modified as per coding style. Removed unnecessary 'out of memory' message. Comparison's to NULL could be written '!foo' or 'foo', modified. Fixed unbalanced braces around else statement. Added braces on all arms of the if-else statements to comply with kernel coding style. Replaced sizeof(struct foo) into sizeof(*ptr). Spaces preferred around that 'operator', spacing provided. Logical continuations should be on the previous line, modified accordingly. Unnecessary parentheses around variables, removed. Please use a blank line after function/struct/union/enum declarations, used. Blank lines aren't necessary after an open brace '{' and before a close brace '}', removed. No space is necessary after a cast, removed. Please don't use multiple blank lines, removed. Rebased on top of next-20170310. Patches were tested and built on next-20170310 and staging-testing as suggested by Greg K-H, no errors reported.
