You know, youth and all ... I was under the impression the patches shall be checkpatch clean. But you got me there quite well, something must be wrong with my precommit hook.checkpatch is not a panacea, and it is in particular not an automaton that one uses without using any human judgement at all. In particular, checkpatch does not enforce the comment style we use in the networking code nor several other conventions that we use which are slightly different from the rest of the tree. Therefore strick checkpatch conformance is never appropriate.
Understood.

Anyway, about the checkpatch cleanup of the file, will that be welcome (afterwards I fix the patchset and repost)?See above, strict checkpatch cleanups, especially those done in a completely automaton style with zero human judgment involved, are not welcome.
I meant the .features field ... it seems that the | at the following line appears in other PHY drivers as well though. Lets leave it at that anyway. Best regards, Marek Vasut
