[PATCH v2] staging: most: fix line ending with '('

[PATCH v2] staging: most: fix line ending with '('

[Khadija Kamran]

Splitting function header to multiple lines because of 80 characters per
line limit, results in ending the function call line with '('.
This leads to CHECK reported by checkpatch.pl

Move the function parameters right after the '(' in the function call
line. Align the rest of the parameters to the opening parenthesis.

No one replied to the v1 of this patch so it's not clear which of the
patches should be ignored.

Also you have a couple patches with the same subject and that's against
the rules.

Note that checkpatch is not always correct. It's a simple advisor.

coding-style.rst does indeed say:

  A very commonly used style
  is to align descendants to a function open parenthesis.

That may be poorly worded. What it is trying to say is to align
the rest of the parameters to the first parameter immediately after
the open parenthesis, like this example from kernel/fork.c:

	stack = __vmalloc_node_range(THREAD_SIZE, THREAD_ALIGN,
				     VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END,
				     THREADINFO_GFP & ~__GFP_ACCOUNT,
				     PAGE_KERNEL,
				     0, node, __builtin_return_address(0));


And FTR, I still haven't found anything in coding-style.rst that says that
lines should not end with an open parenthesis.  Did I overlook it?

Thanks.

Hey Dan!

I created a patch revision without any feedback. My bad. I thought the
description in the previous patch was misleading, so I wanted to change
it.

I am sorry about that. Kindly guide me here. 
Both patches are for same driver i.e. staging/most, but for different
files. Would it be fine to add file names in the subject to
differentiate them?

Hi Randy,
You are correct. I did not find anything clear or obvious that calls out not
ending the lines with a '(' symbol. 
I think the other guideline from the coding style is to align the overrunning
argument list in the next lines such that they match the arg1 after '('. So, I
think that may be the reason why checkpatch is coded to catch such lines.

Deepak.

Yeah.  But you have to reply to the other email.  Otherwise how will we
know there was a response to it?

I trust you.  Figure out a way.  ;)

Sorry about this.
