I think the Linux kernel style is similar. That was the first coding standard I somewhat adopted, but naturally have adapted to many others on different teams over time.

I think this style dates back to K&R C where you (maybe) declared argument types after the parens.

  int max(a, b) 
  double a, b;
  {
      return a > b ? a : b;
  }
