v2: Be less aggressive in brace removal.  Keep them for outer nested
'if's.  Keep them in outer control statements where the inner control
statement uses braces.

Really every multi-line indent should have braces for readability.  This
isn't documented anywhere, but it's normal kernel style and Greg prefers
it for staging as well but I can't find the URL on google where he
mentioned that.

With this version of the patch, amplc_pci230.c conforms to that --
as long as you don't count comments, or splitting a simple statement
across multiple lines to fit within 80 columns, e.g.:

			if (foo)
				/* do this */
				bar = baz +
				      qux;

Heh...  I am counting comments and broken lines, though.  It's not a
totally strict rule and it's especially not strict for broken lines.
But we would prefer braces in those situations.

If necessary, patches 13 and 19 can be dropped entirely.
