This sort of patche can be helpful when doing work over multiple drivers
- making the code more consistent means that it's much easier to pattern
match when looking over many different drivers.

As a standalone patch I view it as a checkpatch.pl fixup.

Even the author of the patch seem to agree:

And indeed I am against massive "just cosmetic" changes.

These changes not so much burden for me personally (it was actually easier
for me to just apply the patch without all the arguing), but for those who
actually do real bugfixes/features in the drivers: their local development
trees will produce conflicts. Solving the trivial conflicts not a problem
either, but irritating (especially realizing that you waste time resolving

These days I don't code that much, but I was in that boat resolving
"cosmetic" conflicts, and I did not like it. So I'm trying to solve the
issue for drivers/power/ developers.

Sorry, I cannot understand.
This patch is a just cosmetic change.
I cannot understand why you reject it.

So, what is the harm of the fix using dev_get_platdata() wrapper function?
What is "the actual use of the dev_get_platdata()"?
Please, give me more detailed description.

Just to clarify: I don't want to take the patch for a reason, not just
because of my mood today. Once the patch comes in combination with another
patch (or a plan) that actually makes use of the wrapper function, then
I'd happily apply/ack it.

This is the same story as global checkpatch.pl fixes: they are more harm

falls into "global checkpatch.pl fixes" category.

I know that the maintainer's choice is important,
because I am also a maintainer of other system or drivers.

But, there is no reasonable reason to object my patch.

I sent all 35 patches that use dev_get_platdata().
21 patches of 35 patches have been merged by each maintainer.
The maintainers admitted that these patches make the code simpler
and enhance the readability, even though these are cosmetic changes.
Also, until now, there is no objection.

And indeed I am against massive just cosmetic changes.

These changes not so much burden for me personally (it was actually easier
for me to just apply the patch without all the arguing), but for those who
actually do real bugfixes/features in the drivers: their local development
trees will produce conflicts. Solving the trivial conflicts not a problem
either, but irritating (especially realizing that you waste time resolving
conflicts because of the just cosmetic crap).

These days I don't code that much, but I was in that boat resolving
cosmetic conflicts, and I did not like it. So I'm trying to solve the
issue for drivers/power/ developers.

The benefit is that this wrapper function makes the code simpler and
enhances readability. I don't know why you disagree. :(
Also, this is a cosmetic change which does not have harmful effect.

There is no special plan.
I just want to make the best use of this wrapper function in order to
enhance readability and make the code simpler.

I don't see any immediate benefit of applying this patch... It does not
fix anything now or in the near future (or we are about to add something

Any plans for this? Then it should be in the commit message.)

Without any plans to actually use the wrapper the patch is just a churn
[that might result into patch conflicts that I'll have to deal with], so
I'll refrain from applying it.

 Without any plans to actually use the wrapper the patch is just a churn
 [that might result into patch conflicts that I'll have to deal with], so
 I'll refrain from applying it.

Um, if you want, I will send v2 patch re-based on the latest git tree.
Please, consider this patch positively. :-)
Thank you.

Best regards,
Jingoo Han

Since people are asking my opinion, then yes using
dev_get_platdata() as intended is better than open coding.  It's a
coding standard thing.

Hi Anton Vorontsov,

Usually, using the wrapper function makes the code simpler.
Also, it make the code more readable.
