I mean Documentation/CodingStyle says: Outside of comments, documentation and except in Kconfig, spaces are never used for indentation, and the above example is deliberately broken. But checkpatch.pl claims I should align to open parentheses. These two things seem to be contradictory to me. Could somebody clarify this? Thanks, Imre
