Subject: [PATCH 1/4] staging: comedi: Correct multiline dereference as per TODO

Using checkpatch.pl I was able to find a multiline dereference which goes
again the coding style for the kernel. I'm still working on my email client so
the indentation looks bad here (in gmail) but the arguments for
comedi_check_trigger_arg_min should go just under the opening (

The patch description should describe what the patch does, not how bad
the indentation loos in your email client.

I can't get the patch to apply. Something is converting tabs to spaces,
and I assume it is your email client doing that. I recommend using the
git send-email command to send the patches, after configuring your git
to send emails via Gmail. You can google how to do that, but here is a
starting point: https://gist.github.com/jasonkarns/4354421

"loos" ==> "looks"

Also, you sent 4 patches with the same subject line (other than the
PATCH 1/4 part). They should be different. You can include the driver
name in the patch subject line to distinguish them, e.g.:

staging: comedi: dt3000: Correct multiline dereference
