Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging : android : fix checkpatch issues

Thanks for reviewing.

Yes, I just followed by reports of checkpatch.pl.

But I don't understand why I can use of seq_puts() in the middle of
seq_printf() calls.
I have been trying to search why that is not good but I didn't find
anything about that.
And I saw patches which were already merged similar with this patch.

You can see with this url
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/2d219c518882d2b2bac77742a6a8979c9dad051a
https://github.com/mirrors/linux-2.6/commit/7aff38176e79a22b1749c2af74060028298e6a45

If you don't mind, let me know why it is not good.

Thanks.
