checkpatch keeps adding warnings, they are there to help patch submitters especially new ones. It's not a holy script and there is little interest in rewriting all of kernel each time this happens. As contributors start being active in a specific area, they will tend to also adjust the style to make it easier to work with, and this is fine. Thanks, -- MST
