Hello Andy,

Apparently the checkpatch.pl script as included in 2.6.36 complains if
continued lines start with whitespace. An example:

[ ... ]
+#if defined(MACRO_NAME_1) || defined(MACRO_NAME_2) \
+ || defined(MACRO_NAME_3)
[ ... ]

checkpatch.pl reports the following warning for the above patch excerpt:

WARNING: please, no space for starting a line,
excluding comments

Is that a feature or an unintended side effect of recent checkpatch changes ?

Bart.
