Hey All, Thanks for all the feedback. This is my first attempt at a patch so I thank you all for helping me through it. I have a question about the strict option on checkpatch.pl. I thought that the stict option was not necessarily part of the coding standards but more of a nice to have. Should I be always using the strict option? On this particular patch if I were to align to the open parenthesis it would push the comment "/* trigger DELAY unit#3 */" off to the next line which I thought we be less clear. If --strict is optional then I would argue to leave it the way it is, but again this is my first time and I am learning. If I were to align to the parenthesis should I just move the comment to the next line or possibly delete the comment altogether? The code is clear and the comment might not be necessary but I didn't want to remove anything the original author wrote.
