[linux-dvb] Coding style (was: Re: Re: cinergyT2: which kernel/usb module to use?)

Hey guys, everybody shall use the coding style he likes!

Hm, if you really have problems you may want to use your favorite source
code formatter...

Afaik that's not true, at least for the plugins I'm using here.
(And it's definitely not true for my plugins.)

Sorry, the kernel gurus will kill you. :D
In kernel code you *have* to write:

| if (something)
| 	doit();
| else {
| 	that();
| 	and_that();
| }

SCNR

Anyway, I prefer something like this:

| if (something)
|	doit();
| else
| {
| 	that();
|	and_that();
| }

Well, I always knew that there is a philosopher inside me.

P.S.:
If you hire me you can get any coding-style you want. ;-)
