Markus,
if you really want to make this codestyle change, I'd suggest you to go
through the whole batman-adv code and apply the same change where
needed. It does not make sense to change the codestyle in one spot only.

On top of that, by going through the batman-adv code you might agree
that the current style is actually not a bad idea.


Cheers,
