Hey all,
This was already brought up by Heinrich Schuchardt, but didn't get much traction. So, I'm bringing it up again now. The little feedback from that thread was we should move to Linux Kernel style tags. I'm going to propose that we do just that, for v2018.05. I'll play with coccinelle to get it done. Comments? Thanks!
We rejected C++ style comments for a long long time , both in U-Boot and in Linux. Why do we accept them now ? I find them horrid and they only bring inconsistency into the coding style.
Linus changed his mind.
Thanks for the link! He, unsurprisingly, makes some good points. And having converted all of our tags, we do indeed have a number of places with unique comment style left.
We also had a small number of cases of incorrect tags which I think if the tag stood out more might have been caught during review.
