Thanks for pointing that out.
I originally introduced the local variable to avoid these checkpatch.pl
messages:
CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
WARNING: line length of xxx exceeds 100 columns
But I agree that using a temporary variable in this case adds
unnecessary noise, since the value is only used once.
Based on your review and a re-read of the kernel documentation, I guess
that CHECK:-level warnings are not strictly require fixing—especially
when fixing them would harm clarity. Please let me know if I’ve
misunderstood it.
I'll drop the local variable and update the patch accordingly in the
next version.
Thanks again for the feedback.
