So far we have been quite liberal in style questions, what annoys me here
is that people send warning patches directly to you without even notifying
the maintainers. If you want people to conform people to a certain
CodingStyle please document officially in the kernel, sparse isn't
distributed with the kernel and the sparse police is silently changing the
kernel all over the place with sometimes questionable benefit. Only the
__user warnings had really found the bugs, but the rest I've seen changes
perfectly legal code.

bye, Roman
