Thank you for this new version. Please prepare a v4 addressing Ilpo's
review remarks.
About the aligning function arguments on the next line to the '('
of the function call start at the previous line, checkpatch also
checks for this.
It is always a good idea to run checkpatch before submitting patches.
E.g.:
git format-patch -v3 HEAD~5
scripts/checkpatch.pl v3-00*.patch
<check output is clean>
git send-email v3-00*.patch
Regards,
Hans
