Why are you sure the volatile use is not necessary?

This is not a good change.

This line exceeds 80 columns only because
it uses very long identifiers (30+ chars).

Anything that uses these very long names
is going to be silly looking when forced
to use 80 column line length maximums.

Basically, it's OK as it is and if you
really want to change it for any reason
the other style to use is to have the
return value on a separate line like:

unsigned int
bcm2836_audio_retrieve_buffers(struct bcm2835_also_stream *alsa_stream);

Even so, that's not a good change either.

Thanks, Joe.

Is this to say that scripts/checkpatch.pl should be updated to some
higher column limit?  I have made these cleanup changes before in a
like manner.

[PATCH 5/5] staging: bcm2835-audio: bcm2835.h: fix line length coding style issue

[Adan Hawthorn]

Thanks, Joe.

Is this to say that scripts/checkpatch.pl should be updated to some
higher column limit?  I have made these cleanup changes before in a
like manner.

Hard to say.

There could be some sensitivity to long identifier
name lengths added to checkpatch, but < 80 column
line length is still currently "strongly preferred".

I don't care much one way or another if it's 80
or 100 or something else as long as it's context
appropriate.

Ok, I personally like that better anyhow.  Also, there was mention of
the line limit even exceeding 100 characters (130ish?) and that was
being tossed around at one point (if I remember correctly).
