Hi Andre.

When you send a patch, please use a shorter subject
and add some commentary in the body of the email
that describes the changes before the patch itself.

What you did here

From:
#define ARLAN_STR_SIZE 0x2ff0
#define DEV_ARLAN_INFO 1
#define DEV_ARLAN 1

to:
#define ARLAN_STR_SIZE 0x2ff0
#define DEV_ARLAN_INFO 1
#define DEV_ARLAN 1

isn't an improvement. A lot of code in the kernel uses:

#define NAME value

using tabs so name is in one column, value another.

This macro isn't nice:

It could be better as:

#define SARLG(type, var) \
do { \
pos += sprintf(arlan_drive_info + pos, "%s\t=\t0x%x\n", \
#var, READSHMG(priva->card->var)); \
} while (0)

or even more simpler:

#define SARLG(type, var) \
pos += sprintf(arlan_drive_info + pos, "%s\t=\t0x%x\n", \
#var, READSHMG(priva->card->var)) \

And this:

> + pos += sprintf(arlan_drive_info+pos, "%s\t=\t0x", #var);\

This change is poor as you've made it seem that the last
two sprintfs are in the loop. Only one is.

I suggest something like:

#define SARLBN(type, var, nn) \
do { \
SARLG(type, var); \
for (i = 0; i < nn; i++) \
pos += sprintf(arlan_drive_info + pos, "%02x", \
READSHMB(priva->card->var[i])); \
pos += sprintf(arlan_drive_info+pos, "\n"); \
}

Another thing you might do is get not use pos as an int,
but instead declare it as a char * starting at arlan_drive_info
so that the macros become:

pos += sprintf(pos, fmt, args)

cheers, Joe
