I did, and I still think separate lines are more readable, especially if
you throw in a blank line after the "return ...;". Anyway, I could keep
my OCD in check if it weren't for the fact that half of these are the
cause for checkpatch to complain. And then if you change the ones that
checkpatch wants you to change, all the others would be inconsistent and
then I'd complain about the inconsistency...

checkpatch flagged a couple other issues, please make sure to address
those as well.

Okay.

Sounds good.
