Hi, Just before I send my patch I got this error with: ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --terse --file 0001-Staging-comedi-driver-fix-coding-style.patch 0001-Staging-comedi-driver-fix-coding-style.patch:27: ERROR: trailing whitespace 0001-Staging-comedi-driver-fix-coding-style.patch:35: ERROR: trailing whitespace 0001-Staging-comedi-driver-fix-coding-style.patch:43: ERROR: trailing whitespace 0001-Staging-comedi-driver-fix-coding-style.patch:53: ERROR: trailing whitespace I have done a step by step explanation of what I have done: http://kapare.blogspot.com/2009/09/write-and-submit-your-first-kernel.html It seem to me that the whitespace are added after I do this command: git format-patch -s -n master..mybranch Can someone help me with that because google did help me to found the answer? Thx kap
