It's kinda mixed, I never really enforced one style or the other ...
I'm kinda taking both now, with a slight preference towards the
networking style perhaps (to please davem :) )

That said, in general I'm not really sure of the value of all of these
patches - perhaps the kcalloc() one makes sense, not for checkpatch
reasons but rather for size limit/integer overflow reasons, and the
ether address assign for general readability, but overall ...

I'll have to make up my mind :)

[PATCH 2/3] nl80211: Fix checkpatch warnings about blank lines

[Kirtika Ruchandani]

This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl issues -
- Please don't use multiple blank lines
- Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace
- Missing a blank line after declarations

[PATCH 3/3] nl80211: Various checkpatch.pl fixes

[Kirtika Ruchandani]

This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl issues -
- space preferred around that <operator>
- no space needed after cast.
- braces {} should be used on all arms of this statement
- Alignment should match open parenthesis
- suspect code indent for conditional statements
- Statements should start on a tabstop
- multiple assignments should be avoided
- prefer ether_addr_copy over memcpy
- correct spelling - 'implementation'
- comparison to NULL could be written as !foo
- prefer kcalloc over kzalloc with multiply

Is it preferable to resend the whole patch-set or just patch 3/3 in
this one as a separate set?

Re-send the entire set, make sure you mark it as v2, include a
changelog in the cover letter or below the "---" in the patches
themselves, and don't forget to include the reviewed-bys for any
unchanged patches.
