Furthermore, the changelog is bad (non-exiting in fact).
The fact that the issues where discovered using checkpatch is absolutely uninteresting. The changelog should describe /what/ is fixed, e.g. whitespace, maybe other things. (In case of nontrivial changes the log may also need to explain not only the /what but also the /how/, but this does not apply to patches like this one.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= --=- =---- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
