Otherwise you end up making changes that can not be applied, or have already been done by others, which is just a waste of time. But what I asked is if you actually test built the change you made. As the kbuild bot showed you, you obviously did not :( Please always do that, you can not add new warnings to the kernel, nor break the build with any change. Also work on your knowledge of C before doing more kernel work, as the change is not correct for the obvious reasons that it is not allowed by the language. checkpatch is just a perl script, sometimes it give incorrect information, like this time. > Also, always use your full name for kernel changes, as the Documentation > > states to. > > > Sir, my legal full name is 'Anmol' only. That does not match what your email "From:" says :) greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
