For the the relevant argument for prefixes is that tools like ctags and cscope work more reliable. Take for example the name TX_TIMEOUT. There are around 60 symbols with that name in the kernel tree. This is quite annoying if you want to jump from a certain use to its definition. Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | https://www.pengutronix.de/ |
