Re: [PATCH] checkpatch: Warn on unnecessary void function return statements

From: Anish Bhatt

My code has multiple exit lables:
void function(void)
{
...

if (err1)
goto exit1;
...
if (err2)
goto exit2;

...
return; /* Good return, no errors */
exit1:
printk(err1);
return;
exit2:
printk(err2);
}

The single tabbed return was required to prevent the good return & err1
messages cascading down. The extra exit label with a noop looks weird,
but is passing checkpatch.pl --strict, so I will go with that, thanks.
