Checkpatch accepts this tab:
int map(struct mm_id * mm_idp, unsigned long virt, unsigned long len, int prot,
int phys_fd, unsigned long long offset, int done, void **data)
and this one:
int unlz4(unsigned char *inbuf, long len,
long (*fill)(void*, unsigned long),
and this combination of tabs and spaces:
void sort(void *base, size_t num, size_t size,
int (*cmp_func)(const void *, const void *),
We have no declarations of identifiers shorter than "map" in the kernel,
as yet, as luck would have it. This would be a violation:
int eq(long __and_complicated_type parameter_a,
long __and_complicated_type parameter_b,
Unfortunately I don't have a better style checker to offer. So I won't go
on about simplistic rules or the effect of excess tabs on refactoring,
readability and re-usability. Suffice it to say that there seems to be
room for maintainer discretion.

I do intend to take responsibility for any regressions so I might as well
assume maintainership too. If future patches continue to go through your
tree, and given there are so few committers, it's just a formality, I
think.

Will comply.
Thanks.
