I feel bad for you if you read coding style rules in a %100 literal sense with no room for interpretation. People add extra parenthesis to add clarity, so you are entirely misrepresenting these cases. This was not a simple case of: return (A); but more like something that looks as: return ((A & B) | (C ^ D)); and that is perfectly fine. -- 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
