From a1ce18e4f941d2039aa3bdeee17db968919eac2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:58:03 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: warn on bare unsigned or signed declarations without int Kernel style prefers "unsigned int " over "unsigned " and "signed int " over "signed ". Emit a warning for these simple signed/unsigned declarations. Fix it too if desired. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: David S.
