HI julia, 

Yes, you are correct, I did the mistake its not the error but a check. 

How about this...

###
The coding style used to limit lines to 80 characters, which led to splitting 
this function header into multiple lines and ending the first line with a '('. 
This split causes a check reported by the checkpatch.

Place the function parameters immediately after '(' in a single line to
align the function header.

Thank you for your reviews.
