I'm just like everyone else, someone who asks questions and makes
comments .. By using a different style than what the rest of Linux uses
your putting yourself at a disadvantage since you can't easily use
checkpatch on that code (even the stuff that is compliant) ..

Not to mention people might start sending you clean ups that you maybe
won't accept. You could always modify checkpatch to recognize your
style.
