Hi, Uwe:
Thank you for your suggestion, I will make a more accurate subject in my future patches.

For this part:
I wrote a python script to check if there is a break after a return or goto.
The script currently has some issues in its handling of special characters, the search result is not precise enough. It is still under debugging.
These are the only places which the script checks out in path: driver/tty.
I also checked other path(like: driver/vme/, driver/video, driver/usb), these paths also have a certain number of similar issues. And I will try to submit these patch later.
Thanks!
