This is a short introduction to the coding style that shall be used. The below
rules are applicable for all C source files, except the Ethernet drivers, for
which the Linux Kernel coding style shall be used to minimize the
differences).

* Lines shall not exceed 78 characters.

* Indentation shall be done using 4 space characters

* No whitespace shall be left at the end of a line.

* After a comma, a single space shall be placed (if not followed by a
  line break).

* Braces shall be placed in the following way (K&R style):

    if (...) {
        ...
    } else if (...) {
        ...
    } else {
        ...
    }

    int function(...)
    {
        ...
    }

* Macros shall be named in CAPITAL letters. If a macro contains multiple
  statements, they should be enclosed by a 'do {} while (0)' loop. Macro
  parameters shall also be capital letters and shall be enclosed py parantheses
  if necessary.

    #define MACRO(A, B) \
        do { \
            if ((A) == 1) { \
                statement(B); \
        } while (0)
