I don't have a strong opinion and agree that both are readable enough... It would make for a reduction of the number of lines so that's nice, but the macro in drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-gpio.c (patch 11) would not fit in the current \-width (or whatever you'd call that line of backslashes to the right in a multi-line macro). Does anyone have a strong opinion? Cheers, Peter
