Description
We should have a common coding style for all our code (documented in the development guidelines). This is most probably the Linux kernel coding style, as has been agreed by most developers on the LinuxBIOS Symposium 2006.
As a help to achieve this, one can use the 'indent' tool with the following options:
indent -npro -kr -i8 -ts8 -sob -l80 -ss -ncs
Note: The tool should not be completely trusted, it will produce wrong or broken output in certain situations, so manual post-processing might be needed sometimes.

The suggestion has been included in the general Developer's Guidelines for coreboot and as such are established as a de facto standard.

Probably too much hassle and work for v2, but we definately should enforce this for v3.
