Get rid of such extraneous empty lines.  They do not add clarity,
rather they just take up space.

This is not indented properly.  When a function call takes up
multiple lines, the text on the second and subsequent lines must
be left justified to the first column after the openning parenthesis
of the function call, like this:

	function(arg1, arg2,
		 arg3, arg4);

You must use the appropriate combination of TAB and space characters
to achieve this.  If you are trying to only use TAB characters, you
are doing it wrong.

This code has a lot of other similar coding style errors, please
put some effort into fixing them up before you consider resubmitting
this driver.

All of the coding style errors are probably why nobody reviewed your
driver the first time around, there's already enough properly styled
submissions to review.
