I see the problem. `c-file-style' complains (correctly) because
`linux' is not a string. Using

 // c-file-style:"linux" **

works as expected. Now, the problem can be trivially fixed either by
making `c-set-style' to accept also a symbol as first arg (and take
its name), or forcing `c-postprocess-file-styles' to pass a string to
`c-file-style'. Whether that would be a user convenience or an ugly
hack is for the CC maintainers to decide :-)
