Hi Alan,

Then let the maintainer (nominally me) shout at Andrew. I don't agree with those style changes and we usually leave such purely stylistic things to the maintainer of the file in question. If Andrew requires these changes, then Andrew is wrong about this. It just confuses the real changes and adds to the overheads of those trying to do reviews (of which we have too few). And in this case "fix" is in the eye of the beholder.
If you (or Andrew) thinks that those style changes are necessary, then send them separately and I will NAK them :-) In this case it is pure churn for absolutely no gain whatsoever. Two of the hunks weren't even anywhere near the real changes.
/me is letting the linux-next work go to his head :-) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
