I'm a little confused about the reverse xmas tree ordering.

should I reorder them only according to the total length like this:

	void __iomem *ioaddr = (void __iomem *)dev->base_addr;
	int numhashregs = (hw->multicast_filter_bins >> 5);
	int mcbitslog2 = hw->mcast_bits_log2;
	unsigned int value;
	int i;

or should I gather the same type together, and order types as reverse
xmas tree, then order the same type definitions as reverse xmas tree,
like this:

	void __iomem *ioaddr = (void __iomem *)dev->base_addr;
	unsigned int value;
	int numhashregs = (hw->multicast_filter_bins >> 5);
	int mcbitslog2 = hw->mcast_bits_log2;
	int i;

Thank you.
