These criticisms are worth reviewing.

checkpatch reports several hundred formatting errors. Run these files
through clang-format and knock off some of them.

That method seems like a good recipe for endless churn unless checkpatch
and clang-format really agree about these style rules.

Why use checkpatch to assess code style, if we could simply diff the
existing source with the output from clang-format... but it seems that
clang-format harms readability, makes indentation errors and uses
inconsistent style rules. Some examples:
Problems with clang-format should be fixed, I'll take a look.

I was reviewing this file for another issue and could not get past how
horredously bad it was and really did not want to manually fix the 400+
formatting errors.  I will drop this patch and use the use these files
to verify the .clang-format .
I think this is more an issue with clang-format than with checkpatch.

If you have specific issues with what checkpatch reports for this
file (or any other file), let me know.

Yes, I agree. Its a clang-format problem.

I will be looking to minimize the .clang-format settings to only those that agree with checkpatch.

Then add settings back in later if their problems can be worked out.
