I wouldn't worry too much about checkpatch.pl.
It is worth looking at what it reports, but if you don't agree or the
maintainer doesn't agree, then feel free to ignore it.


Is this changing ok to you?

Splitting this out into a separate string does make sense.
However I would use
   static const char new_array_file[] = ....;
rather than #define.

Maybe "const char *" is enough for this long string? Because this file only used when
creating named array, not global using.

I hadn't noticed that there are two places where we write to new_array.
Maybe that should be split out into a function.
Both should use modprobe if the open fails.

how about this changing? Thanks for your patience to have a look at it.
