That said, I'm not going to take such "coding style cleanup" patch
blindly. If it's associated with other real fix or enhancement, I'll
happily take it. Otherwise, I'd rather leave it.
a maybe less confusing way to put it would be "do whitespace cleanups
only on the lines that contain "real" changes, and maybe in their
immediate proximity for consistency". that means that whitespace-only
patches are by definition not acceptable.

Oswald, Takashi, thank you for the explanation! I got it. The acceptance
of codestyle cleanup patches vary from one Kernel area to another. I'm
curious about the sound subsystem, and decided to fix some obvious
things before going to more significant enhancements I probably would
able to make.
Kind regards,
Ivan Orlov.
