The U-Boot coding style guide has been updated to include information
about using the `.clang-format` configuration file for automatic code
formatting. This ensures consistent formatting across the entire
codebase and aligns with Linux kernel coding standards. The goal with
introducing a predefined coding style is consistency rather than
personal preference.
The .clang-format file is copied directly from the Linux kernel without
any modifications, ensuring complete compatibility with kernel coding
standards.
Include comprehensive best practices for using clang-format,
specifically guidance on formatting only changed blocks versus entire
files, creating separate formatting-only commits for better code review,
and leveraging git clang-format for targeted formatting. Add examples of
editor integrations. This enhancement will help maintainers and
contributors to easily adhere to U-Boot coding standards.
