For example, if I get a patch for something that is a whole driver, I
generally think that while I *prefer* to see it follow the kernel coding
style, I also expect that the person who sends me the driver is the one
who is going to maintain it in the future, and thus his personal coding
style preferences will override any but the strongest objections.
As with most things Linux, it would be really nice if more people
here acted like our fearless Penguin leader.
But the reality is that perfectly good code is frequently rejected
(for rework) due to 81-character lines and even more trivial stylistic
differences, even (especially) in entirely new driver sources.
