But you could go beyond fixing just checkpatch.pl warnings.

Obvious comment is obvious.

These would look better done properly.

void musycc_serv_req(mpi_t *pi, u_int32_t req);

Keep the parameter names because they serve as documentation.  And
actually, they should be moved to a header file which is included
instead of declared in the .c files where they are used.
