Noted. I had added debug prints between the {}, forgot take care the single
statement rule
while cleaning up. Not an excuse though.

Thanks for taking time to review the patches.

The primary intention of this series was to know if the RPMsg based approach
would be upstream friendly or not. But I would not like to use that as an excuse
for not fixing checks/warnings/errors reported by checkpatch completely.
Even though if its RFC, I will treat it as an actual upstream patch  and address the
checkpatch/smatch/sparse findings or atleast mention in the cover letter that the
findings have not been fully addressed.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused and be careful in future.
