But, and this is a huge BUT, which you ignored, you should ONLY submit a checkpatch cleanup for a subsystem that has a maintainer that welcomes them. Like drivers/staging/*. Checkpatch cleanups are welcome, and encouraged there. If you want to do a checkpatch cleanup, do it there, you will not be yelled at. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
