Subject: [PATCH] try to fix false positives reports of checkpatch.pl
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:09:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C6F8EB.4050507@fr.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com>

This is an humble attempt to fix these reports that seem to be false positives. 
aren't they ? If so, you should triple check the fix because I got lost in the 
'elsif' and I took the first shortcut I found :)

Thanks for maintaining checkpatch.pl. it's a great tool.
