Any specific reason why you did not test build your change before submitting it?
thanks,

Apologies, we can drop the patch. I was trying to find an error as part of the eudyptula challenge and thought I was compiling the driver correctly. Upon further examination, the macro cannot be written with a do-while because it is defining functions.
The "eudyptula challenge" and other first patch guides should be updated to tell people to search for their code on lore.kernel.org before sending a patch.
The "eudyptula challenge" is not currently running and has not been for many years now so I do not know where the original poster got their information from.
thanks,

The challenge is in fact closed but the list of exercises is publicly available. From my limited experience, it is still one of the best resources for getting started in linux kernel development even if it is probably a bit outdated, and lacking a section about testing your changes properly.
Thanks and sorry again for the mishap, Alberto.
