We should force them to stay out-of-tree until any and everything is resolved. Heaven forbid that the code should be merged, contributed, and improved upon as a community. That isn't the only decision criterion. Overall the c files look reasonable to me: a few little things like large on-stack arrays built at runtim which I think could be assembled at compile-time, various unneeded casts, a bit of space-vs-tab confusion, but nothing serious leaps out. So perhaps that header file was unrepresentative. It is seriously duplicative and bloaty though. This: akpm:/usr/src/25> perl scripts/checkpatch.pl patches/git-wireless.patch | wc -l 9941 should be an endless source of fun. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
