no , you are not the only one. That particular file has lots of
checkpatch warning , and our Nick choose just the one which is a false
positive.



What is wrong with you people - were you never on nntp and learned how to ignore trolls? I only read this list and Nicholas Krause is a pain - why where there ~11 responses to his stuff - he should be ignored - he is not banned to never respond to the idiot.

Nobody wants him, he only wants a byline of minor fame by says 'he I wrote some of linux' 3 months of this crap and you are still all entertaining someone with no code skill accept from adding/removing spaces - we all need house cleaners - but I would not trust him to clean my toilet correctly. 

I raise the simple motion that when Nicholas Krause posts - NOBODY responds to him - EVER - under threat of torture or whatever - for whatever reason - my joy of lurking here has been ruined by a single IDIOT - if this was nntp he would have wandered off a long time ago with ignores - but I blame this list for constantly responding to the TROLL and FEEDING it. DONT DO IT
