I think we are talking cross purposes.

default_dram_type = mt_find_alloc_memory_type(MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM,
&default_memory_types);

Is what I was suggesting.

3 tabs + 1 space + the text from * (58)
= 24 + 1 + 58 = 83

Advantage of using claws email for kernel stuff is it has a nice per character
ruler at the top of the window.

I wonder if you have a different tab indent size? The kernel uses 8
characters. It might explain the few other odd indents if perhaps
you have it at 4 in your editor?
