The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: improve operator spacing check has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-improve-operator-spacing-check.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sam Bobroff <sam.bobroff@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: improve operator spacing check Code such as: x = timercmp(&now, &end, <); Will currently trigger a checkpatch error. e.g. ERROR: spaces required around that '<' This is because the "Ignore operators passed as parameters" check looks only for a comma following the operator. Improve the check by also looking for a close parenthesis.
