See: > For me, NAK also needs reasons. And this issue is about "coding styles issue", I am not quite sure whether trivial patch maintainer and mm maintainer are also the maintainer for "coding styles issues". I guess they are related with this patch, and their NAKs' reason are: mm and trivial don't care about this coding style issue, is it correct? > ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/trivial/template-index.html > > Also note the comment from the above: > > NOTE: This means I'll only take whitespace/indentation fixes from the > author or maintainer. OK, thanks, it is really one proof for us. :-) I guess, the file above almost means: except whitespace/indentation, trivial patches don't consider about the coding styles issues. But can we say coding styles issues are not issues in our kernel? (I guess not) If we can not say, I guess one of your suggestion is useful (maybe be as your suggestion): find one suitable member (I guess I am not), run "checkpatch -file" under "./include", and fix all reported issues.
