[PATCH] scsi/arm: Clean up coding style violations
Posted by Darshan Rathod 3 months ago
Addressed checkpatch warnings by separating assignment from a conditional
statement and documenting the empty for loop. These updates improve code
clarity and maintain style consistency.

No functional change intended.

Up to the SCSI maintainers, but this code pre-dates many of the coding
style updates, and I believe there is a general policy not to "fix"
old code for such things. It creates noise and additional churn.

Correct. checkpatch is for validating *new* code.
