Hans, Thank you very much for your input on the patch; however this patch has already been applied to the staging tree. Additionally: > What coding style problem? You should give a short description of > what you are fixing. The subject of the patch (which becomes the subject of the email when using `git format-patch`) describes the change more fully: "Staging: bcm2048: Fix function argument alignment in radio-bcm2048.c". It's a really trivial patch, so there's not too much to say. That extra comment is just redundant, I suppose. > Just drop this change: it will replace one warning (non-aligned) with > another (> 80 cols). Breaking the 80 character line limit is arguably excusable for this code because of the 36 character function name and 30 character constant name; additionally, it has been said that the 80 character line limit will probably be increased in the future since we run modern machines that aren't limited to 80 character terminals anymore, so this warning may soon be irrelevant anyway.
