This patch series is intended to fix several checkpatch issues (from CHECK level) found on lirc_zilog.c: The 1st patch focus on whitespace related fixes. The 2nd patch fixes NULL comparisons style. The 3rd patch is for using __func__ in logging functions that are to trace the function's name, instead of writing down the actual function name. The 4th patch changes use of sizeof(struct s) to sizeof(*s_ptr) instead. Finally, the 5th patch fixes unbalanced braces around if/else statements. All checks were fixed, except for the following (and why): * CHECK: "Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation...", in the file's header. Didn't want to mess with the license notice, unless given explicit permission. * CHECK: "struct mutex definition without comment", for the ir_lock mutex from struct IR. I understand the mutex is there to serialize access to the i2c bus but felt hesitant about adding such comment, due to lack of deeper knowledge about the driver. * CHECK: "Please don't use multiple blank lines". Two instances of these were left because acting as logical code blocks separators (separating vars declarations from functions, etc.). They seem intended for readability purposes. * CHECK: "Alignment should match open parenthesis", unchanged because makes the code more readable. * CHECK: "usleep_range is preferred over udelay". Wouldn't know which range to use, due to lack of deeper knowledge about the module. * CHECK: "ENOSYS means 'invalid syscall nr' and nothing else", in some of the module's ioctl function return paths. I believe correct return value here would be -ENOTTY, but had some doubts about doing the change, as this could break userspace. Will gladly do the change if it's OK. Please advise if it's ok to go ahead and fix these remaining checks.
