[PATCH v4 07/25] reboot: Remove extern annotation from function prototypes
Posted by Dmitry Osipenko 4 years, 2 months ago
There is no need to annotate function prototypes with 'extern', it makes
code less readable. Remove unnecessary annotations from <reboot.h>.

I'm not sure that this is really useful.

Personally, I tend to respect the existing conventions like this.

Surely, this change is not required for the rest of the series to work.

Problem that such things start to spread all over the kernel with a
copy-paste approach if there is nobody to clean up the code.

This is not a common convention and sometimes it's getting corrected [1].

In separate patches outside of series adding new features, if one is
so inclined.

Alright, I'll drop this patch then because it can't be done in parallel
without creating the merge conflict. I'll try not to forget to come back
to this later on.
