Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Cosmetic changes to the android binder proc release code

Hello,

These are cleanup patches related to the binder_deferred_release function
in the android binder staging driver which improve readability while removing
checkpatch and compiler warnings.

 drivers/staging/android/binder.c |  138 +++++++++++++++++-----------
 1 file changed, 84 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)

Changes from v1:

 * squashed patches 3 and 4 together instead of introducing a warning
   in patch 3 then fix it in patch 4. (Following Joe Perches' review)
 * removed the extra nd_refs variable from patch 1 and fixed whitespace
   in patch 2 (Following Dan Carpenter's reviews)
 * renamed the new binder_node_release_deferred function to a shorter
   binder_node_release as releasing a node will allways be deferred

Changes from v2

 * kept arguments aligned with parentesis (Following
   Arve Hjønnevåg's review)
 * added a fourth patch which removes function names from string litterals
   in favor __func__ (Following Dan Carpenter's review)
 * improved commit log messages slightly

Please excuse my wasting of your time for such trivia.
I do want to get the basics of submitting patches right
before starting any heavier lifting.

Thank you for your time and sorry again for the noise,
Best regards,
