just my two cents ... recruting helper variables will reduce linelenght and (sometimes) improve readability. e.g.: feature=tf->feature | (((u16)tf->hob_feature) << 8 ; writew(feature,(volatile void __iomem *)ioaddr->feature_addr); btw: is 'volatile' usefull here ? i would exspect that *ioaddr->feature_addr is already defined 'volatile'. ( i do not have the code here, sorry if its to trivial.) re, walter 4. writew(tf->feature | (((u16)tf->hob_feature) << 8), (volatile void __iomem *)ioaddr->feature_addr); This line (and others) is just too long. Split it up at the comma between the first & second parameters and then indent the second line. -- ~Randy _______________________________________________ Kernel-janitors mailing list Kernel-janitors@lists.osdl.org http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel-janitors
