By the way, what is the consensus on lines over 80 characters? checkpatch complains about the following:WARNING: line over 80 characters #762: FILE: drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx_dma.c:720: + printk(KERN_INFO "S3C24xx SPI DMA driver (c) 2007 Nordnav Technologies AB\n"); I can of course break this into: printk(KERN_INFO "S3C24xx SPI DMA driver (c) 2007 Nordnav " "Technologies AB\n"); but in my opinion that becomes more even unreadable. Would it be possible to add a special case so that checkpatch ignores long strings that go beyond 80 characters? Do you think it is a good idea?
At the top of the file add a #define and use that in the code? Some drivers define their version/author etc that way and then just
printk(DRIVER_VERSION DRIVER_AUTHOR); tom -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
