Ah! Then you should have at least mentioned  in  your  comments  that
this  was the motivation of your changes. As you posted it, it looked
just like a change because you didn't like the style.

Frankly, I don't understand what checkpatch  is  warning  about.  IMO
this  is  really  just  a  matter f style, and I'm still using habits
learned from K&R. If you had learned C from the Unix version  6  code
like  me  you'd most probbaly write "return (value);", too. (Just for
the fun of it I checked if my memory is with me - in the  whole  Unix
v7  code,  kernel  + libraries + commands, I could find just 18 cases
where "return value;" was used.)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
