It's not you, it's checkpatch.pl plus the fairly common tendency to give that thing a lot more respect than it deserves... Basically, it's OK as a tool that draws ones attention to a subset of code that might or might not be worth looking at; it gives both false positives and false negatives and as long as there's not too much of those, it's useful. Provided that it does *not* replace one's taste. I.e. "hey, it points to these lines; let's take a look, some of those might be worth some attention", rather than "The Most Holy Oracle Has Spoken; Do What It Says". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
