Did you mean to change the logic here by doing the calculation always?
Does that change functionality?

The existing code is fine, running checkpatch on code outside of
drivers/staging/ or on new patches you are writing, is generally
discouraged as the code usually is older than checkpatch is :)

thanks,

	Understood. One question though, should we fix issues like no space
	before open parenthesis (e.g. if(val)) in the code that is outside
	of /drivers/staging/ ?

	Now the calculation of interface will be done always, which can be
	redundant. But this would not change the functionality.

Yes, but it is now redundant, so this change isn't really needed, the
original code is "more correct", please leave it as-is.

Only if the maintainer of that subsystem says it is ok to do so.

good luck!
