Hey Larry.
There are many somewhat common realtek wireless drivers.
Not to step on your toes, but what do you think of
rationalizing the switch/case statements of all the
realtek drivers in a few steps:
o Reindent all the switch/case blocks to a more normal
kernel style (git diff -w would show no changes here)
o cast, spacing and parenthesis reductions
Lots of odd and somewhat unique styles in various
drivers, looks like too many individual authors without
a style guide / code enforcer using slightly different
personalized code. Glancing at the code, it looks to be
similar logic, just written in different styles.
o Logic changes like
from:
if (foo) func(..., bar, ...); else func(..., baz, ...);
to:
func(..., foo ? bar : baz, ...);
to make the case statement code blocks more consistent
and emit somewhat smaller object code.
o Consolidation of equivalent function spanning drivers
With the style only changes minimized, where possible
make the drivers use common ops/callback functions.
Is there any value in that or is Jes' work going to make
doing any or all of this unnecessary and futile?
