It seems the $subject patch is really not that necessary, as it was just
inspired by similarly trivial comments. But I thought CodingStyle
was supposed to mostly be a guide for new code, not a charter to "fix
up" old code like drivers/mtd/{chips,maps}.
So I would have been happy with ignoring the whitespace comments on the
v1 stack usage patch (esp. since it *did* match the existing style), and
avoiding the ensuing comments about helper macros. IMO, it's pretty
silly when a simple patch to fix a real issue turns into an extended
search for other trivial issues.
I'll probably take both of Arnd's patches as they stand, but any more
trivial requests to stable code like this should come in the form of
real patches, not respins of Arnd's patch.
Disclaimer: I'm probably just as guilty of adding trivial tangential
comments/requests that distract from the original issue. So I'm partly
speaking to myself here.
Happy coding,
Brian
