From b00e48148e99a20c3d81346390d60c7d23826f61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: don't warn on bitfield spaces around : This test prevents code from being aligned around the : for easy visual counting of bitfield lengths. ie: int foo : 1, int bar : 2, int foobar :29; should be acceptable so remove the test.
