Julian,

rtl8723au is pretty dead development wise, so I don't care too much.
checkpatch is broken and has effectively turned into a policing tool for
a few people who wish to apply their narrow view onto everyone else.
I'll continue top reject broken patches to my code pushed out under
those rules.

Maybe it's time to introduce checkpatchconsideredharmful.com
