If you are not running it already you can catch common mistakes by
running checkpatch script from the kernel source top directory like:

  $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --codespell -g <commit-id>

Also would suggest to build kernel with warnings treated as errors:

  $ make CFLAGS_KERNEL+=-Werror ...

Thanks,
