i'd like to get some feedback before sending this off to the regular mailing list.

i'm following Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and i think this

is OK, but i thought that before and was wrong.

i'm not even sure if i should be asking here first, or sending this to the list.

are there any problems with the cleanup patch below?

it fixes something that checkpatch.pl lists as an error for pointer location.

=========================================================================

here's who i plan to send to:

Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

should i include this list?

it is called a list of last resort here https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html

but it is in the output of get-maintainer.pl for this patch.

thanks!
