The USB_GPIB_SET_LINES command string used to be: "\nIBDC \n" but when
we were merging this code into the upstream kernel we deleted the space
character before the newline to make checkpatch happy. That turned
out to be a mistake.
The "\nIBDC" part of the string is a command that we pass to the
firmware and the next character is a variable u8 value.
It gets set in set_control_line().
msg[leng - 2] = value ? (retval & ~line) : retval | line;
where leng is the length of the command string.
Imagine the parameter was supposed to be "8".
With the pre-merge code the command string would be "\nIBDC8\n"
With the post-merge code the command string became "\nIBD8\n"
The firmware doesn't recognize "IBD8" as a valid command and rejects it.
Putting a "." where the parameter is supposed to go fixes the driver
and makes checkpatch happy. Same thing with the other define and
the in-line assignment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
