That was mostly a Y&P from the prototype earlier in the file. Is it the 
linebreak after "int" you are referring to, or are there more?

It is a bit cryptic to me what it is complaining about (sorry 
clang-format newbie here):

# git clang-format -v HEAD^
Running clang-format on the following files:
    include/linux/trace.h
YAML:671:20: error: unknown enumerated scalar
SpaceBeforeParens: ControlStatementsExceptForEachMacros
                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error reading /root/aeasi/src/mkp.git/.clang-format: Invalid argument
error: `clang-format -lines=29:30 -lines=51:84 include/linux/trace.h` failed

Perhaps my clang-tools are not recent enough.

# clang-format --version
clang-format version 10.0.1 (Red Hat 10.0.1-1.module+el8.3.0+7459+90c24896)

Still digging..
