query regarding emxx_udc
by Deeksha varshney Feb. 8, 2017

Feb. 8, 2017

In the file file drivers/staging /emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c every EPn_ type variable should be modified in seperate patches ? like EPn_BUF_TYPE should be modified as EPN_BUF_TYPE in one patch and EPn_MPKT as EPN_MPKT in another patch.?

Googling "missingTaggerEntry" also didn't lead to any good results. Is it safe to ignore "missingTaggerEntry"? Thanks for your time, Aaron

should include/uapi include header files *unused* in kernel space?
by Robert P. J. Day Feb. 4, 2017

Feb. 4, 2017

was perusing the UAPI content in the kernel source, prepping for a course i'm teaching tomorrow, and just noticed there is a header file: $ find . -name mtd-user.h ./include/uapi/mtd/mtd-user.h $ which appears to be *entirely* unreferenced in the entire kernel code base (outside of the Kbuild file that refers to it): $ grep -r 'mtd-user.h' * include/uapi/mtd/Kbuild:header-y += mtd-user.h $ does this make any sense? am i missing something here? i would have thought that if a header file includes content that is wholly used exclusively in user space, it would be part of a package like "mtd-devel", or something like that. is this just for convenience to keep all the mtd stuff in the same place? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

by Deeksha varshney Feb. 4, 2017

Feb. 4, 2017

In the checkpatch.pl for the file drivers/staging /emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c there are checks for Camel case naming . How should I send patches for them? I mean there are Epn_ type variables should I correct them all in one patch then there is iWriteLength variables ,correct them in another patch then there are pointer variables.

Staging Driver TODO's
by srishti sharma Feb. 3, 2017

Feb. 3, 2017

If the todo's mention checkpatch cleanups , does it mean the warnings also need to be fixed ? Should one try to fix them OR only the errors ? Regards
