Hi.
When I was playing with 'make nsdeps',
I saw a new warning.
If I rename USB_STORAGE to usb_storage,
I see 'warning: line 15: should usb_storage be a metavariable?'
Why? I think it comes from spatch.
It should be technically OK to use either upper or lower cases
for the namespace name.
Just apply the following, and try 'make nsdeps'.
diff --git a/drivers/usb/storage/Makefile b/drivers/usb/storage/Makefile
index 46635fa4a340..6f817d65c26b 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/storage/Makefile
+++ b/drivers/usb/storage/Makefile
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
ccflags-y := -I $(srctree)/drivers/scsi

+ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=usb_storage
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_UAS) += uas.o
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_STORAGE) += usb-storage.o

There is no (documented) preference or convention yet. The existing
namespaces (USB_STORAGE and MCB) use upper case. While technically both
should work, I have a personal preference for consistently using upper
case. Is there a way to suppress this warning as I agree that it might
be confusing?

Yes, it would come from spatch.

What is normally wanted? Uppercase or lowercase?

The warning is not intentional in this case. I will have to fix
Coccinelle, but I can't do it until next week.
