Should such information from a comment in this script be also
explicitly mentioned in the document "CodingStyle" anyhow?

How should the support for indentation of jump labels with
a single space be expressed in all relevant Linux development documentation?

I suggest to take another look at such identifiers.

Would you like to support the renaming of a label like "error_out1"
(in the function "ks7010_upload_firmware" for example)?

Not really for this update suggestion.

Will the software evolution be continued also with information from the topic
"Source code review around jump label usage"?
