Subject: [PATCH] gpio-hammer: Avoid potential overflow in main

If '-o' was used more than 64 times in a single invocation of gpio-hammer,
this could lead to an overflow of the 'lines' array. This commit fixes
this by avoiding the overflow and giving a proper diagnostic back to the
user

Please don't try to sneak in unrelated changes into commits. This is
of course correct coding-style-wise but send it in a separate patch.

Other than that, looks good.

Ah, that was accidental. I was applying scripts/Lindent to my code and
ended up also having it applied to part of the old code. Didn't think it
would hurt, but I guess it makes sense to be this stringent on
separating logical changes. Will send a (complete) corrected patch
in-reply-to this message.

Please don't send patches in response to other threads. Always start a
new thread and increment the version in [PATCH vX] tag.

Ah, seems like I didn't read the guide to getting code into the kernel
thoroughly enough. Should I send the patch yet again just with a v2 in
the subject header or is there no need to bother with that ?

Please do so that patchwork picks it up. Also: please don't top-post
on LKML ie. respond below others' text.

Ok, will send it with s/PATCH/PATCH v2 ASAP.

Btw, is the "top-posting" the reason why lkml.org doesn't seem to be
able to find my replies to your posts ?
