Subject: [PATCH v3] Staging: wlan-ng: hfa384x_usb: fixed an 'else' statement coding style issue
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 00:18:26 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418955506-30099-1-git-send-email-edusbarretto@gmail.com> (raw)
Checkpatch was complaining about the else statement because the if statement had a return '1' call. Taking a look at the function which this else statement belongs, you can see that it has an switch case statement.
The main idea of the function is to return '1' if you get into any of the cases (including the default case where the "problematic" if/else statement is declared).
If any of the cases is not sufficient the function should return '0', so the else statement that checkpath was complaining could be removed, and what was done inside this else statement can be done outside the switch case statement and then we return '0'.
This way we have a cleaner code and no checkpatch error complaints.
