(bike shedding alert!)

Can't say I agree with that.  I think the content of a parethesised
group should always be to the right of the opening parenthesis unless
that paranthesis (or bracket or brace) is at the end of the line.
So:

static struct some_structure *some_function(
        int a, int b, int c, int d,
        long long e, struct blablabal *p)

would be a better option.
Though in this case I would got for:

static struct some_structure *
some_function(argument go here....)
