The whole code in the "cpu/ixp/npe/" is going to be replaced soon by the new driver code that has gone into mainline Linux recently. Thak makes me think we should not spend too much effort on this. Basicly I see three options:
- Be lazy and leave as is now
- Go forward and clean up all white space issues in the /npe/ code
- Revert the white-space cleanup patches as far as /npe/ code is affected.
Short discussion on IRC showed preference for 1).
If you agree, that's what we'll do.
hmm, I can see reasons to leave npe alone wrt whitespace changes.
this may not be the most efficient way of doing it (I don't see git-revert having a --path option), but this will do #3 above:
git-format-patch --stdout --relative=cpu/ixp/npe HEAD^ | patch -d cpu/ixp/npe -R -p 1 ; git add cpu/ixp/npe; git commit --amend
I'd add something like 'npe exempt' in the commit message.
