Hi,
A recent checkpatch run on the kernel detected a total of 26
ERROR:NON_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS violations.
20 of them seem to be false positives which are all from
drivers/staging/iio.
Example:
ERROR: Use 4 digit octal (0777) not decimal permissions
#331: FILE: drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c:331:
+static IIO_DEV_ATTR_PHASESYMBOL(0, 0200, NULL, ad9834_write, AD9834_PSEL);
ERROR: Use 4 digit octal (0777) not decimal permissions
#334: FILE: drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c:334:
+static IIO_DEV_ATTR_PINCONTROL_EN(0, 0200, NULL,
+ ad9834_write, AD9834_PIN_SW);
ERROR: Use 4 digit octal (0777) not decimal permissions
#336: FILE: drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c:336:
+static IIO_DEV_ATTR_OUT_ENABLE(0, 0200, NULL, ad9834_write, AD9834_RESET);
and more such..
Thanks,
