Hi Sevinj,

I'm also not a checkpatch expert, but on my system this works without
--strict too. I applied your patch to my local tree and get:

/scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c

[snip]

CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis
#1638: FILE: drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c:1638:
+ if ((p->PMKIDList[i].bUsed) &&
+ (!memcmp(p->PMKIDList[i].Bssid, bssid,
ETH_ALEN)))

[snip]

You can also run checkpatch on the patch files (without -f).
Then it's easier to see if you introduced new issues.

regards,
Michael
