Rust requires braces around branches of if expression, and C doesn't.
So in kernel coding style you often have:

if (condition) do_something();

That is not a valid kernel coding style, and our tools should catch this
and prevent it from being added to the kernel tree.
Are you sure? I'm not sure if this isn't true today, but I've certainly seen old code where this definitely was done. Was all of this cleaned up in the last 2+ years?
