SubjectRe: [PATCH] Open Firmware device tree virtual filesystem
Date
Some comments, mostly coding style:

> - 0xb0 - 0x13f Free. Add more parameters here if you really need them.

> idt)

Is there an OF ISA binding for x86 somewhere? And don't
point me to the source code, I'd like to see an actual
reference doc ;-)

> +// printk(KERN_WARNING "CALLOFW: %s\n", name);

Please remove disabled code. And don't use // comments
at all please.

> + if (call_firmware == NULL)
> + return (-1);

No parentheses around return value.

> + argarray[0] = (int)name;

This would warn on 64-bit systems, better write it as
(u32)(u64)name (and make sure that "name" is somewhere
in the low 4GB of memory). This doesn't handle 64-bit
client interface either btw.

> + while (numargs--) {
> + argarray[argnum++] = va_arg(ap, int);

No braces around single statements.

> +#undef MAXARGS

Why this #undef? That's nasty style, and this is at the
end of file anyway.

> +#if 0

Better use a normal comment.

You missed "instance-to-interposed-path" (standard, although
not required).

My mailer messed up this line, that means you have trailing
spaces here :-)

Same here.

Better make the #define correspond to the file name.
