[PATCH v7 00/15] tty: serial: 8250: Fix checkpatch warnings

From: Anton Wuerfel
Date: Thu Jan 14 2016 - 10:08:50 EST


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

Patch 1/15: Adds missing spaces (mainly to function/macro headers)
Patch 2/15: Replace spaces with tabs wherever possible
Patch 3/15: Slight patch which moves an opening curly brace
Patch 4/15: Fixes multiline comment style
Patch 5/15: Removes else blocks after return statements
Patch 6/15: Slight patch which moves EXPORT_SYMBOL macro to correct
position
Patch 7/15: Slight patch which removes an unneccessary line continuation
Patch 8/15: Slight patch which adds parentheses to a macro definition
Patch 9/15: Merges user-visible multiline strings to a single line
Patch 10/15: Replace printk by dev_* or pr_* where appropriate
Patch 11/15: Remove orphaned debug macro
Patch 12/15: Fix warnings in dev_dbg by adding two casts
Patch 13/15: Refactor a switch/case statement
Patch 14/15: Fixes code indentation
Patch 15/15: Add a generic port macro

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.
