Hello Peter, thanks for your feedback. We updated the patches according to your remarks. Regards, Phillip Raffeck Anton Wuerfel This patch set fixes several checkpatch warnings in tty/serial/8250. Patch 1/11: Adds missing spaces (mainly to function/macro headers) Patch 2/11: Replace spaces with tabs wherever possible Patch 3/11: Slight patch which moves an opening curly brace Patch 4/11: Fixes multiline comment style Patch 5/11: Removes else blocks after return statements Patch 6/11: Slight patch which moves EXPORT_SYMBOL macro to correct position Patch 7/11: Slight patch which removes an unneccessary line continuation Patch 8/11: Slight patch which adds parentheses to a macro definition Patch 9/11: Merges user-visible multiline strings to a single line Patch 10/11: Replaces printk by corresponding variant of pr_* Patch 11/11: Fixes code indentation Remaining checkpatch warnings after applying this patch series: -line over 80 characters This error mostly occurs in serial_cs.c, which contains long-lined macro calls. However, splitting these calls into multiple lines would not increase readability. -externs should be avoided in .c files This occurs in 8250_hp300.c. There is no corresponding header file the extern statement could be moved to. It could be moved to 8250.h but this would affect other .c files. -Use #include <linux/*.h> instead of <asm/*.h> This warning has been left open for more experienced kernel hackers. This patch series is about style issues. We do not intend to alter the code behavior. -struct uart_ops should normally be const This warning only occurs in 8250_core.c. The corresponding struct cannot be declared as const because it is altered in serial8250_isa_init_ports(). Maybe a checkpatch exception should be added for this particular warning. -quoted string split across lines These strings were ignored because they otherwise would exceed 80 characters in a single line. These particular strings use format specifiers, which break the ability to grep for them anyway.
