This is a case where checkpatch is wrong, IMO. Casts should always be
followed by a space. I will not accept this patch.
Ok. I understand.


This must be something recently added to checkpatch. It never used to
complain about casts, whether they were followed by a space or not.
I'm using the checkpatch --strict option.

Please never use that on existing kernel code, except for
drivers/staging/ stuff, otherwise your patches will start to very
quickly be ignored.

Just wanted to remind everybody that this option is forced when checking the networking code...

thanks,
