Please see http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do. if (condition) action(); This does not apply if one branch of a conditional statement is a single statement. Use braces in both branches. if (condition) { do_this(); do_that(); } else { otherwise(); } Tom _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
