Hi all:
I have a question about creating a patch series. I'm working in drivers/staging/wilc1000 fixing code style. If for example 2 errors are reported by checkpatch.pl error A and error B, it seems logical that I could fix all occurrences of error A as one patch and all occurrences of error B in a second patch. My question is, is it OK to fix all occurrences of error A across the files inside drivers/staging/wilc1000 as one patch and all occurrences of error B across all files inside drivers/staging/wilc1000 as a second patch?
The alternative would be to create a patch that fixes all errors of A and a patch that fixes all errors of B per file ? In some cases there are so many occurrences of a particular error across files it probably does make more sense to create the patches per file.
Any thoughts or clarifications on this ?
Cheers:
Roger H. Newell
