[PATCH 0/5] staging: r8723au: fix multiple checkpatch issues

[Alison Schofield]

This patchset addresses the last 26 checkpatch WARNINGs in file:
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_cmd.c

I'll call your attention to the "Line over 80 chars" cases:

I chose to address 'Line over 80 chars' because all but one could be
resolved by cleaning up a single struct definition. [PATCH 1/5]

The last one appeared to be due to excessively long function names
as opposed to deep indentation/complex code requiring refactoring.
See my notes below the --- in PATCH[5/5] for further info.

[PATCH 1/5] staging: r8723au: break parameter list at separators and align to open braces

[Alison Schofield]

Improve readability by aligning the struct cmd_hdl wlancmds[] to fit
within 80 chars and cleaning up the adjacent index comments.

There is no device tructure or network device structure available?

Your comments have made me rethink how I addressed the checkpatch
errors. 

Previously, I only cleaned those that checkpatch complained about. Now,
I'm realizing while I'm cleaning up, I should clean up more throughly
and correct all the comments. (without changing wording of course.)

Similarly with the data structure.  There are 2 main structs at the top of
this file, and although only the first one triggered checkpatch
warnings, the second one could use some clean up also.

Is that the correct mindset for these type of checkpatch warnings?

I think it depends on how complicated the other problems you are.  If you
are fixing a code formatting problem, and you see other code formatting
problems, then you could really fix them all up at once.  If there is any
doubt about the correctness of any of your changes, then you should do them
ome by one, so that they can be reverted independently, if needed.  For
example, if checkpatch tells you about spaces around parentheses in an if
test, and if it also tells you that the xyz function should be used instead
of abc, and the goal of your patch is to fix spaces around parentheses,
then you should not change abc to xyz at the same time.  But if you are
working on abc to xyz conversion, and you see a space around parentheses
problem on the same line, you could probably fix it up too, especially if
it is the only one in the file.

This was not intentional and I don't see it as moved in my 'working'
file. It has raised a big red flag that the process I used to create
this patchset is wrong.  I'm going to retrace my steps, but if you have
a quick thought on where I screwed up...I'd appreciate it :)
- edited single final with all 5 types of changes.
- used git add -pi to add each hunk and commited each..one at a time
I thought the results would be 5 independent patches, but now I don't
think so!

Thanks for any pointers!

Realized the error of my ways. (Need to put on sep branches to get
independent commits.) Will resend entire set.

[PATCH 5/5] staging: r8723au: add & use local variable to simplify references

[Alison Schofield]

Add local variable scanned_queue to rtw_createbss_cmd23a_callback()
and use it (6x) to simplify references.

Resolves checkpatch.pl WARNING: line over 80 characters

Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <amsfield22@gmail.com>
---

Note to reviewers:
I considered removing another local variable to compensate for the one
I added.  tgt_network is set and used once. I did not remove tgt_network
as it was beyond the scope of the checkpatch error I set out to address.

[PATCH v2 0/5] staging: r8723au: fix multiple checkpatch issues

[Alison Schofield]

This patchset addresses the last 26 checkpatch WARNINGs in file:
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_cmd.c

I'll call your attention to the "Line over 80 chars" cases:

I chose to address 'Line over 80 chars' because all but one could be
resolved by cleaning up a single struct definition. [PATCH 1/5]

The last one appeared to be due to excessively long function names
as opposed to deep indentation/complex code requiring refactoring.
See my notes below the --- in PATCH[4/5] for further info.

alison

Changes in v2:

The patches have been reordered.  
	The comment corrections are now the last patch in the series.

[1/5] no changes
[2/5] now using netdev_err per reviewer feedback
[3/5] no change in code, but the diff changed when I moved the comment patch.
[4/5] no change in code, but same as above, diff appears a bit 'different.'
[5/5] scanned and corrected comments thru entire file, not just those
	reported by checkpatch (ie. spacing issues)




Alison Schofield (5):
  staging: r8723au: break parameter list at separators and align to open
        braces
  staging: r8723au: replace printk() with netdev_err()
  staging: r8723au: move constant to right of comparison test
  staging: r8723au: add & use local variable to simplify references
  staging: r8723au: use kernel preferred style for commenting

[PATCH v2 1/5] staging: r8723au: break parameter list at separators and align to open braces

[Alison Schofield]

Improve readability by aligning the struct cmd_hdl wlancmds[] to fit
within 80 chars and cleaning up the adjacent index comments.

Addresses checkpatch.pl WARNING: line over 80 characters

It does look worse in the diff, but when I'm scanning the entire 62 item
list, keeping the items to the left and the index comments to the right
seemed to make it easier to scan and find the item I want. (A maintainer
probably wouldn't be reading this list top to bottom.)

Is it appropriate for me to ask reviewers (you) to apply the patch to
review it?  It seems there is not always enough context in the diff.

I agree, definitely no reason to do this.

In addition, please remember to CC the driver maintainer when you post
patches for a driver.

[PATCH v2 4/5] staging: r8723au: add & use local variable to simplify references

[Alison Schofield]

Add local variable scanned_queue to rtw_createbss_cmd23a_callback()
and use it (5x) to simplify references.

Addresses checkpatch.pl WARNING: line over 80 characters

Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <amsfield22@gmail.com>

Note to reviewers:
I considered removing another local variable to compensate for the one
I added.  tgt_network is set and used once. I did not remove tgt_network
as it was beyond the scope of the checkpatch error I set out to address.
