Subject[PATCH 01/29] coding-style.rst: Avoid comma statements
Date
Commas are not how statements are terminated.
Always use semicolons and braces if necessary.

+Don't use commas to avoid using braces:

+.. code-block:: c

+ if (condition)

+Always uses braces for multiple statements:

Don't put multiple assignments on a single line either. Kernel coding style
is super simple. Avoid tricky expressions.

Outside of comments, documentation and except in Kconfig, spaces are never
used for indentation, and the above example is deliberately broken.
