Hi Rafael,

Thanks for your comments!

Could you please clarify if you want me to drop the entire patch or
send it only with the changes about the last warning found ("no spaces
at the start of a line)?

Also, I would like to take the opportunity and ask a question. :)

Reading the code, sometimes, I find some minor formatting issues.
Like the checkpatch warnings or unnecessary parentheses and braces.

For example the line bellow:
		if ((freq < policy->min) || (freq > policy->max))

I know that this is not actually an issue and a patch with such changes
is (somehow) a noise for the maintainers. But, should it be "fixed" or not?

Thanks for your time,

Stratos
