No, that is not the way we indent. The alignment is relative to the open
parenthesis:

foo(arg1,
arg2);

Btw, if you run checkpatch --strict, you'll see it complaining if the
alignment is different:

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
#2: FILE: a.c:2:
+void foo(int arg1,
+ int arg2)

The alignment here is given by the first argument:

bitfield = BIT_1 |
BIT_2 |
BIT_3 |
...

or

bitfield = BIT_1
| BIT_2
| BIT_3
...

On media, we usually prefer the first form.

Cheers,
