Fix the following coding style errors in
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/linux/linux-proc.c:
1. initializing lnet_table_header (static pointer) to NULL
2. missing spaces around '='

There's a third coding style error in this file which I've chosen to
not fix for clarity's sake. It is: initializing min_watchdog_ratelimit
(static int) to 0

Those are two different things, and should be 2 different patches.
Please split up and resend that way.

Please fix that too, it's not correct. Drop the comment there if you
think that's confusing.

thanks,

What's not correct there, I wonder? Just assignment of 0 to a static variable
to get some extra clarity?
The code in the question is:

static int min_watchdog_ratelimit = 0; /* disable ratelimiting */
static int max_watchdog_ratelimit = (24*60*60); /* limit to once per day */

So if you drop both = 0 and the comment, I think it would become even more cryptic?

How about something like this then (not a proper patch, but just to demonstrate
the idea):

Ick, no, just do like other places have done:
static int min_watchdog_ratelimit; /* = 0 disable ratelimiting */
