I am adding Miguel Ojeda to the cc's.

Of course you are welcome to try it, but I believe that
clang-format doesn't work all that well yet.

It's more a work in progress rather than a "standard".

I believe you'll find that the patch series I sent
ends up with a rather more typical kernel style.

I suggest you try to apply the series I sent and then
run clang-format on that and see the differences.

Ideally one day, something tool like clang-format
might be locally applied by every developer for their
own personal style with some other neutral style the
content actually distributed.

cheers, Joe
