Patch Set 2:
> Since apparently the strongest opinions on that (not necessarily a "majority" by any metric) are for artisanal source code, I guess the only resort we have is to drop both checkpatch and clang-format and continue to rely on the services of Paul and Elyes to keep us in line with a style guide that nobody really follows anyway. I'll prepare a patch.

I always thought I have the strongest opinion :-P If
there is a little consensus, I could try to adapt
checkpatch to an indentation + x rule. But maybe we
should first decide if we want clang-format.

Since there's dissent on not doing anything, and on doing anything, I'll step back and let you folks who care strongly get to an agreement ('you' means: Julius, Nico, Ron, Philipp and whatever posse you bring).

Try to keep it non-personal though, don't engage in sinister plots and don't accuse others of doing so. Thanks.

In case you guys agree on using clang-format to enforce coding style and a rule set that a computer can reasonably create, I'll see that clang-format will support it properly (count this as a weak "let's use clang-format to enforce style, no matter which"), but other than that I'm out.
