Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] tty: serial: 8250: Fix checkpatch warnings

Hello Peter,

thanks for your feedback. We updated the patches according to your remarks.

Regards,
Phillip Raffeck
Anton Wuerfel

This patch set fixes several checkpatch warnings in tty/serial/8250.

Patch 1/11:  Adds missing spaces (mainly to function/macro headers)
Patch 2/11:  Replace spaces with tabs wherever possible
Patch 3/11:  Slight patch which moves an opening curly brace
Patch 4/11:  Fixes multiline comment style
Patch 5/11:  Removes else blocks after return statements
Patch 6/11:  Slight patch which moves EXPORT_SYMBOL macro to correct position
Patch 7/11:  Slight patch which removes an unneccessary line continuation
Patch 8/11:  Slight patch which adds parentheses to a macro definition
Patch 9/11:  Merges user-visible multiline strings to a single line
Patch 10/11: Replaces printk by corresponding variant of pr_*
Patch 11/11: Fixes code indentation

Remaining checkpatch warnings after applying this patch series:

-line over 80 characters
	This error mostly occurs in serial_cs.c, which contains long-lined
	macro calls. However, splitting these calls into multiple lines would
	not increase readability.

-externs should be avoided in .c files
	This occurs in 8250_hp300.c. There is no corresponding header file
	the extern statement could be moved to. It could be moved to 8250.h
	but this would affect other .c files.

-Use #include <linux/*.h> instead of <asm/*.h>
	This warning has been left open for more experienced kernel hackers.
	This patch series is about style issues. We do not intend to alter
	the code behavior.

-struct uart_ops should normally be const
	This warning only occurs in 8250_core.c. The corresponding struct
	cannot be declared as const because it is altered in
	serial8250_isa_init_ports(). Maybe a checkpatch exception should
	be added for this particular warning.

-quoted string split across lines
	These strings were ignored because they otherwise would exceed
	80 characters in a single line. These particular strings use
	format specifiers, which break the ability to grep for them anyway.
