Should such information from a comment in this script be also
explicitly mentioned in the document "CodingStyle" anyhow?

How should the support for indentation of jump labels with
a single space be expressed in all relevant Linux development documentation?

I suggest to take another look at such identifiers.

Would you like to support the renaming of a label like "error_out1"
(in the function "ks7010_upload_firmware" for example)?


> Did you have anything else in mind?

Not really for this update suggestion.

Will the software evolution be continued also with information from the topic
"Source code review around jump label usage"?
