Don't split literal strings, it means that grepping the source tree for "already
registered" fails. Making grep for a string work is more important than shutting up
checkpatch.

Sic! Grepping is important. Given that, why are kernel functions coded in a

Documentation/process/coding-style.rst
This document does not answer my question. It does not even require

| {
style. Here is a relevant part of document: "separate functions with one blank
line... EXPORT macro should follow closing function brace ... In function prototypes,
include parameter names ... E.g.:"
| int system_is_up(void)
| {
| return system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING;
| }
| EXPORT_SYMBOL(system_is_up);
That's all. Have I overlooked something? Could you, please, share your own
point of view?
