This patch adds a module parameter to allow a group access to the
mISDN devices. Otherwise, unpriviledged users on systems with ISDN
hardware have the ability to dial out, potentially causing expensive
bills.

Based on a different implementation by Patrick Koppen <isdn4linux@xxxxxxxxx>

Did you run this thru scripts/checkpatch.pl? There should be space after *if*. Also, () around != are not neccessary...

Again, need space after *if*.

Better leave && on a previous line and align the line under !. () again are not necessary.

+ && (!in_group_p(misdn_permitted_gid)))

() around !x are simply not needed -- ! operator has very high priority.
