This is a series of patches to fix some trivial checkpatch issues. Not all
issues have been fixed. I intend to submit another series to fix more stuff.

checkpatch prints the following warning:

I propose you change the git email matching the one that you use to send.

When testing you can compile the driver with this command:
make -C . M=drivers/staging/rtl8723bs
Typically a compile of the entire kernel is not required.

Please use the subsystem and driver also for the Subject line of the
cover letter.

Do you want me to submit v4 to fix the email address as well as the subject of
the cover letter or are you ok with me promising to make it properly the next
time? ;)

Thanks,
Franziska

Hi Franziska,
you do not need to submit v4 for me.

Here the reason what you need to take into account.

If you leave the e-mail addresses this way you need to monitor both for the next weeks. Because somebody(or a robot) may contact you for questions, errors or hints for improvement.

If you look into the kernel patch statistics:
http://www.remword.com/kps_result/all_petop.html
Look in google for: "kernel patch statistics"
You can find this person:
Franziska Naepelt <franziska ! naepelt () idt ! com> 1(0.00%) @IDT @Unknown
May be this is you. Maybe you want to see the number of patches in total that you have submitted. That is best possible if you submit all patches under one Email address.

May be you plan to vote for the Technical Advisory Board. Then you need to collect your patches (credits under one email address)

So all your choice.

Bye Philipp
