Checkpatch complains about static variables initialized to 0. Since it's my first time writing kernel code, I have to ask what are probably obvious questions. 1. Why is initializing a static variable to 0 bad? or worse than initializing that variable to 1, or -1? 2. If I want to have a module parameter whose default value is 0, what should I do to stop checkpatch from complaining? -Alexandre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-laptop" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
