From f9a0b3d17a01fe1ba24ce1e9c18666a52052e011 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:51:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: type/cast spacing should not check prefix spacing We should not be complaining about the prefix spacing for types and casts. We are triggering here because the check for spacing between '*'s is overly loose. Tighten this up.
