For reviews of technical merit, true. For reviews of commit log wording of whitespace changes, where git diff -w shows no difference, less true. This patch seems almost entirely whitespace except one bit reformatting a comment block. Breaking those down into changes like: added space after commas added spaces around bit shifts added spaces around arithmetic is simply excessive. The only comment I would have given would be to change the patch context that added line comment initiators to use the /** kernel-doc style. And maybe a style change of #define CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE (CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_KEY_SIZE + \ CC_MULTI2_DATA_KEY_SIZE) to #define CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE \ (CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_KEY_SIZE + CC_MULTI2_DATA_KEY_SIZE) as it's sometimes easier to scan arithmetic on a single line. btw: this #define seems misleading as it's used in both .min_keysize and .max_keysize with "+ 1" and key[CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE] is also used.
