Linux driver chief calls out Microsoft over its driver code submission

“On top of chiding Microsoft for not keeping up with code
development, Kroah-Hartman took the company to task for the state

“”Over 200 patches make up the massive cleanup effort needed to
just get this code into a semi-sane kernel coding style (someone
owes me a big bottle of rum for that work!),” he
wrote.Kroah-Hartman says there are coding style guidelines and that

deal. It happens with a lot of companies,” he said. But the large
number of patches did turn out to be quite a bit of work, he
noted.”
