[PATCH v2 00/11] tty: serial: 8250: Fix checkpatch warnings

From: Anton Wuerfel

Hello Peter,

thanks for your feedback. We updated the patches according to your remarks.

Regards,
Phillip Raffeck

This patch set fixes several checkpatch warnings in tty/serial/8250.

Patch 1/11: Adds missing spaces (mainly to function/macro headers)
Patch 2/11: Replace spaces with tabs wherever possible
Patch 3/11: Slight patch which moves an opening curly brace
Patch 4/11: Fixes multiline comment style
Patch 5/11: Removes else blocks after return statements
Patch 6/11: Slight patch which moves EXPORT_SYMBOL macro to correct position
Patch 7/11: Slight patch which removes an unneccessary line continuation
Patch 8/11: Slight patch which adds parentheses to a macro definition
Patch 9/11: Merges user-visible multiline strings to a single line
Patch 10/11: Replaces printk by corresponding variant of pr_*
Patch 11/11: Fixes code indentation

Remaining checkpatch warnings after applying this patch series:

-line over 80 characters
This error mostly occurs in serial_cs.c, which contains long-lined
macro calls. However, splitting these calls into multiple lines would
not increase readability.

-externs should be avoided in .c files
This occurs in 8250_hp300.c. There is no corresponding header file
the extern statement could be moved to. It could be moved to 8250.h
but this would affect other .c files.

-Use #include <linux/*.h> instead of <asm/*.h>
This warning has been left open for more experienced kernel hackers.
This patch series is about style issues. We do not intend to alter
the code behavior.

-struct uart_ops should normally be const
This warning only occurs in 8250_core.c. The corresponding struct
cannot be declared as const because it is altered in
serial8250_isa_init_ports(). Maybe a checkpatch exception should
be added for this particular warning.

-quoted string split across lines
These strings were ignored because they otherwise would exceed
80 characters in a single line. These particular strings use
format specifiers, which break the ability to grep for them anyway.
