Sorry for my curiosity, but where is it documented that the networking
code is using reverse christmas tree style?

I already inquired in the past here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/CAMZ6Rq+zsC4F-mNhjKvqgPQuLhnnX1y79J=qOT8szPvkHY86VQ@mail.gmail.com/

but did not get an answer.

If we have to check for that, then please have this patch revived and merged:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1478242438.1924.31.camel@perches.com/

Personally, I am not willing to apply an out of tree linter for one
single use case.
