From: Simranjit Singh <simranjit.singh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Using the checkpatch.pl script, there were 8 errors in thinkpad_acpi.c. I fixed them by changing permissions to octal, and by adding parenthesis. On the current tree, if you use checkpatch.pl, thinkpad_acpi.c will have 8 errors. With my changes, there are 0 errors. However, I have added 3 new warnings. I'm very new to kernel development, so if I messed up somewhere, please do tell me. Changed binary permissions to octal in accordance with checkpatch.pl in thinkpad_acpi.c Signed-off-by: Simranjit Singh <simranjit.singh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c b/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c index 2242d60..9ad1f5b 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c @@ -9574,7 +9574,7 @@ static int __init set_ibm_param(const char *val, struct kernel_param *kp) MODULE_PARM_DESC(experimental, "Enables experimental features when non-zero"); -module_param_named(debug, dbg_level, uint, 0); +module_param_named(debug, dbg_level, uint, 0444; MODULE_PARM_DESC(debug, "Sets debug level bit-mask"); module_param(force_load, bool, 0444); @@ -9638,25 +9638,25 @@ static int __init set_ibm_param(const char *val, struct kernel_param *kp) #ifdef CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUGFACILITIES module_param(dbg_wlswemul, uint, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dbg_wlswemul, "Enables WLSW emulation"); -module_param_named(wlsw_state, tpacpi_wlsw_emulstate, bool, 0); +module_param_named(wlsw_state, tpacpi_wlsw_emulstate, 044); MODULE_PARM_DESC(wlsw_state, "Initial state of the emulated WLSW switch"); module_param(dbg_bluetoothemul, uint, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dbg_bluetoothemul, "Enables bluetooth switch emulation"); -module_param_named(bluetooth_state, tpacpi_bluetooth_emulstate, bool, 0); +module_param_named(bluetooth_state, tpacpi_bluetooth_emulstate, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(bluetooth_state, "Initial state of the emulated bluetooth switch"); module_param(dbg_wwanemul, uint, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dbg_wwanemul, "Enables WWAN switch emulation"); -module_param_named(wwan_state, tpacpi_wwan_emulstate, bool, 0); +module_param_named(wwan_state, tpacpi_wwan_emulstate, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(wwan_state, "Initial state of the emulated WWAN switch"); module_param(dbg_uwbemul, uint, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(dbg_uwbemul, "Enables UWB switch emulation"); -module_param_named(uwb_state, tpacpi_uwb_emulstate, bool, 0); +module_param_named(uwb_state, tpacpi_uwb_emulstate, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(uwb_state, "Initial state of the emulated UWB switch"); #endif
