I tried to run the checkpatch.pl script as follows:
scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c
And I noticed this kind of warnings:
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#122: FILE: drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c:122:
+ unsigned int eax;
+ unsigned int ebx __packed;
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#123: FILE: drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c:123:
+ unsigned int ebx __packed;
+ unsigned int ecx __packed;
The offending code looks like this:
struct smm_regs {
unsigned int eax;
unsigned int ebx __packed;
unsigned int ecx __packed;
unsigned int edx __packed;
unsigned int esi __packed;
unsigned int edi __packed;
};
It looks like a false positive as it excepts a blank line after every struct
field declaration.
Should it be reported to the checkpatch.pl maintainers?
