Split lines to have less than 80 characters.

Fix the checkpath.pl issue: line over 80 characters.

Hi Tamara,
You certainly found a file with a lot of opportunity for cleanup!

This patch didn't apply, and I didn't seen any recent submittals
that would have pre-dated your work.  I got this error message
when trying to apply it:

Applying: staging: wilc1000: wilc_spi: Rearrange the code
error: patch failed: drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc_spi.c:855
error: drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc_spi.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 staging: wilc1000: wilc_spi: Rearrange the code

It could be 'my' problem ;), but since I'm going to ask you to rework
this anyway, please apply the patch and see what is going on there.

Lines over 80 can be tricky to fix.  I see many related to comments,
so I would suggest to do a patch just for cleaning up the commenting
style and spelling errors.

The patch would be something like: Use kernel preferred commenting style
and it could include corrections to
- those block comments throughout the file. See the style guide for how
they should be formatted.
- spelling corrections
- pulling in those comments that dangle beyond the 80 char line limit

So - that would be a patch all about the comments.

Then, you could go back and grab other lines over 80 that were related
to code wrap in a separate patch.

Questions, please ask!
Thanks,
alisons

Sorry, Tamara - it was my problem. I got the patch to apply,
but it didn't compile.

So, I don't know how to continue checking the other patches.
If they are each dependent on the previous, then they are 
all going to fail.

I think it's still best if you cleaned this up and resent
before further review on the other patches.
It is helpful, at least for me, if you mention in the patch
cover letter explicitly if the patches have dependencies.

Maybe other reviewers just expect that in a set.

Thanks,
alisons

Tamara,

I looked at func wilc_spi_read_int() with the intent of changing the line
over 80 warning on dev_err to see your issue, but..the function is quite
messy.  There is excessive bracketing {} and indentation going on.  

I'm thinking we need to clean up the excessive bracketing and indentation
first, and then see which lines remain over 80 and deal with them.  

Julia - Can you take a look at this func and tell us if you agree that the
extra brackets are not a desired style?


Thanks,
alisons

Definitely agree.  It's OK to declare variable at eg the top of an if
branch if that seems really necessary from a conceptual point of view.
But they shouldn't be declared at all random places, as is done in this
function.  It's fine to just move the variables to the top of the
function.

Kernel goto labels also don't have _ around them.

Tamara,

How about a patchset that only focuses on this function:

 Subject: [PATCH 0/N] staging: wilc1000: clean up wilc_spi_int.c

	where N is yet to be defined.

  Let's assume patches 1 through N will each depend on the previous.
  I'm thinking this might be a smooth way to do it.
  See what you think and adjust as works best for you.

  patch-1: declare variables at top of function
  patch-2: remove useless brackets
  patch-3: use kernel preferred indentation style

  *** see what you are left with, maybe you'll have:

  patch-4: ...something you fit with a line
  patch-5: ...spelling

  Wow  - it get's big and we're only focused on one function ;)

  Mail the patchset to yourself.  Get a clean branch and
  apply/compile each patch in sequence.  It should compile
  after each addition.

  So, we're basically abandoning the previous patchset.
  That's ok.  You can get back to those other pieces in the
  file after this patchset gets ack'd.

As a general rule, I think it could be a good idea to try to make smaller
patchsets.  Focus on one thing and try to do a good job of it (proper
subject line, helpful and comprehensive commit message, correct changes)
rather than trying to do everything to clean up a file at once.  It's
always possible to do the rest later.

Agreed w Julia about focusing, but then wrote the file name instead
of the function name. Should be: clean up function wilc_spi_read_int()
