Yes I did. the checkpatch says this:
Alignment should match open parenthesis
#89: FILE: drivers/staging/vt6655/rxtx.c:89:
+static void s_vFillRTSHead(struct vnt_private *pDevice,
+               unsigned char byPktType,

The only way to resolve this would be to add white space which would
generate another checkpatch problem. how do i fix this please?
