Can you also take a look on your side ? > > I wanted to do one small thing and when I see that it is good and accepted from you then do all warnings and errors one by one. OK, makes sense. I think you're on the right track, and if you extend this patch to all of drivers/pci, I'll apply it. I see you found the lines that checkpatch didn't complain about. Maybe checkpatch doesn't look at things inside quoted strings? That's just a guess; I don't use checkpatch regularly. If you plan to do other things, e.g., removing spaces between the function name and open parenthesis, I'd like to have all the "white space-only" changes in a single patch.
