Hi All,
Pardon me, if this question is asked previously,
Recently, I came across script in Linux Kernel called 'checkpatch.pl' which is checks coding style of a patch or file.
Out of curiosity, I ran script on multiple modules and saw indentation and other errors in coding style. So question is, Can I fix them or these errors in coding style are "low hanging fruits" for now ?
For some parts of the kernel, checkpatch fixes are gladly accepted, like drivers/staging/*. Other parts, it's harder to get them accepted as the code is old and no one wants to touch it anymore (like scsi drivers.) good luck, greg k-h
