Note that this is not something that is mandated by the kernel coding
style, but rather a preference of the authors of checkpatch (and the
check is only enabled when the --strict option is given or when
checkpatch is run on net and staging code).

As the author and maintainer of this particular code, I do not think
this patch should be applied, but Greg may have a different opinion on
this as the overall staging maintainer.

I would strongly suggest learning C *before* moving on to do kernel
work.

Thanks,
