Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: comedi: fixed checkpatch errors and curly brace
issues
I don't know why you CC'd this to me, I've nothing to do with this driver.
But I'll review the patch anyway.

Your commit log entry repeats the subject and adds a filename? You're
kidding?
checkpatch "errors" are suggestions (at best).

Converting spaces to tabs in ASCII art documentation is daft.

Is this supposed to be an improvement?

I'm sorry. How is this an improvement? Your version of this shell script
has worse style than the original, and can't be cut and pasted.

Wrong. The level of indentation here is not a tab. Also, there are coding
style rules for comments.

Wrong in various ways. If checkpatch didn't point out the whitespace
issues in your code then read the style guides. You should split the
string constant, keep the parens on the line with the function invocation,
indent to the correct level. I'm not going to comment on the missing log
level tag.

Ramesh, please don't spam my inbox with this. I have nothing to do
with this driver, and I don't like reviewing crap like this.
As for Greg Kroah-Hartman's inbox, you need to read this:
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/maintainer-06.html
If you are going to submit patches relating to coding style, start by
reading the kernel code style guide (and the other links in part 1 of that
series of posts).
As for running check patch on existing code, please consider Al Viro's
advice:
