Thanks, but .... not like this please.
The code inside () should never be indented before the '(' unless the
'(' is at the end of a line.
So you could make it

static ssize_t msdc_debug_proc_write(struct file *file, const char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *data)

or

static ssize_t
msdc_debug_proc_write(struct file *file, const char __user *buf, size_t count,
loff_t *data)

or even

static ssize_t msdc_debug_proc_write(
struct file *file, const char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *data)

(though I don't think checkpatch will like that).
But neither the original or your new version are indented properly.
Try to do more than just remove the warnings - try to make the code
beautiful!

Thanks,
NeilBrown
