Thanks for the reply
I guess I was not clear. When I run checkpatch on a driver there
were so many camelcase issues in each file. So I wanted to know if I
proceed to fix them, should I submit each change as a patch or each file
as a patch?
Since each file has many camelcase issue and the driver has morethan one
such file.
