same for me.

and PLEASE, folks, even if you _dont_ find that line unreadable, and 
even if you have full power and control over your own subsystem that you 
maintain and can NAK cleanup patches at whim, still _PLEASE_ follow the 
Linux coding style because it inconsistency hurts the eyes of a 
substantial proportion of kernel developers. Other folks might have to 
fix bugs in your code, other folks might want to reuse your code or you 
might go into a different subsystem and give maintainership to someone 
else, etc. etc. Consistent coding style is one of the few concepts that 
only has advantages and no disadvantages at all.
