No, I don't want that, I'd prefer you think about it.

Also, a useful effort would be to (from the README)

TODO:
	[]
        - move to use the in-kernel wireless stack

where most all of the P80211 code would be removed.

Anyway, sure, use checkpatch as a tool to help when
learning the process of how to submit patches properly.
Then move on to more thoroughly understand a block of
code in the kernel that can be improved with cleaner
style and logic and bug fixes you could submit.

That's be much more appreciated than random 80 column
fixups and strict checkpatch compliance done without
a thorough understanding of the code.

In any case, welcome, hope you stick around.
