Dear "prodyut hazarika",

But then, you are changing good TAB chanracters that were used for vertical alignment into spaces. This is incorrect - please read the Coding Style requirements.
Please do not do this.
The problem is that lot of existing code use spaces to align the defines. You can see include/ppc4xx.h and lot of other header files. I have seen that spaces are used only in defines. As an example in ppc4xx.h. I can send thousands of other places.:
#if defined(CONFIG_405EX) || $ defined(CONFIG_440SP) || defined(CONFIG_440SPE) || $ defined(CONFIG_460EX) || defined(CONFIG_460GT)$ #define CONFIG_SDRAM_PPC4xx_IBM_DDR2^I/* IBM DDR(2) controller */$ #endif$
Here it makes sense to align the 'define's vertically, and it seems obvious that only spaces can be used here.
Yes, I am aware that there are lots of bad examples around, but please take the good ones as a guide, not the bad ones.
Finally, no matter what any examples were that you might have followed when writing new code. What I am complaining about is that you changed good code and converted it into bad one.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
