Hi Dimitry,

For networking code I usually run:

checkpatch.pl --strict --codespell --min-conf-desc-length=80

Where 80 is, I believe, still in line with preferences for Networking code.
Although I'm not entirely sure it is applicable to this patch.

As to your question, in this case I think it is the --strict that causes
checkpatch to flag the issues I raised. Sorry for not mentioning that in my
previous email.
