When compiling with all warnings enabled, some defines can lead to
warning due to missing unsigned type suffix:
warning: integer overflow in expression [-Woverflow]
This fix should not affected behavior at all, since calculation with
such overflows lead to the same actual address when writing to that
location. However, it makes the warning disappear and also defines
the right data type for a memory location.
Added --terse and --mailback options to the make stylecheck target. It
also does continue even if it enounters a possible error.
We decided on two exceptions from the linux kernel coding standard:
- Empty wait while loops may end with ; on the same line.
- All blocks after while, if, for have to be in brackets even if they
only contain one statement. Otherwise it is easy to introduce an
error.
Checkpatch needs to be adapted to reflect those changes.
