Please discard "checkpatch: warn when using extern with function prototypes in .h files"
I noticed that a patch got committed to checkpatch to complain about function prototypes prefixed by "extern". Please discard/revert this patch: commit 7cd0f806622836e386ef18ad1950a9a729803019 Author: Joe Perches Date: Wed Aug 28 10:16:00 2013 +1000 checkpatch: warn when using extern with function prototypes in .h files Using the extern keyword on function prototypes is superfluous visual noise so suggest removing it. This is inaccurate. It's actually a useful visual cue - so if anything, please make checkpatch indicate that it be added to all future function prototypes.
