(forwarding on to kernel-janitors/mentees and kernelnewbies) Just fyi for anyone that cares: A janitorial task for someone might be to use Julia's coccinelle script below to convert the existing instances of commas that separate statements into semicolons. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2008201856110.2524@hadrien/ On Thu, 2020-08-20 at 19:03 +0200, Julia Lawall wrote: > > > I have a bunch of variations of this that are more complicated than I > > > would have expected.
