I was aware of > it for netdev but I thought that was a netdev-specific rule (since it > only shows up in maintainer-netdev.rst and not more broadly) I'd say that not as strictly as e.g. netdev does so if e.g. due to initialization order it cannot be fully achieved no special trickery is required (in contrast to what you'd get from e.g. netdev telling to put them out of line). It seems generally useful for declarations, especially when they're as many as in the one I picked up above (I think might be due to less eye movement required when looking for a particular variable by its name). -- i.
