Most of these existing messages from checkpatch should
probably be inspected and corrected where possible to
minimize the style differences between this subsystem
and the rest of the kernel.

For instance, here's a trivial patch to substitute
pr_<level> for printks and a couple braces next to
these substitutions.

Thanks Joe. I actually had a similar patch a while back but
since it was lot of churn, and code was already merged,
never submitted it and then later forgot about it.

Will look into it.

Please look at my set here first - I have already spent considerable time cleaning up
stuff while working on this:


Just closing the loop. As discussed, I can use your patches without
any new tool dependency since existing checkpatch.pl already gives
those warnings. I started picking up Joes patch but since you have
changes, can use them instead once you untie them with runcheck.

Regarding the $subject, just re-iterating that I don't want any custom
script for RDS and want to just follow generic guidelines followed by
netdev for all net/* code.
