I'm not as versed in the pci/controllers/ code as Rob and Lorenzo, so
it will take me longer to review things, and I apologize in advance.
When I *do* review patches there, one of my main tools is to compare
with other similar drivers. If a driver is structured the same way as
others and uses the same naming conventions, that's a huge help to me.
I also pay attention to the mundane details like coding style, commit
logs (both content and formatting), subject lines, etc. Patches that
look like they fit with prior history and style are also a big help to
me.
My goal is not just to be OCD about it, but to make drivers/pci/
generally uniform and more pleasant for those who come after us.
Commits are "write once, read many" things, so I want to optimize for
the readers, not the writer.
Old posting of hints, which is still relevant:
