[PATCH 0/1] Use checkpatch.pl to make thinkpad_acpi.c error free: octal permissions

From: Simranjit Singh
Date: Tue Nov 14 2017 - 18:14:49 EST


From: Simranjit Singh <simranjit.singh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Using the checkpatch.pl script, there were 8 errors in thinkpad_acpi.c. I fixed them by changing permissions to octal,
and by adding parenthesis.
On the current tree, if you use checkpatch.pl, thinkpad_acpi.c will have 8 errors. With my changes, there are 0 errors.
However, I have added 3 new warnings.
I'm very new to kernel development, so if I messed up somewhere, please do tell me.

Changed binary permissions to octal in accordance with checkpatch.pl in thinkpad_acpi.c
