Thanks, you're right. My mistake was trying to run checkpatch.pl on a diff. My patch works on diffs while the original code does not.

Using format-patch on something that is committed is clearly the correct solution. -- 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/
