I think you should try to get this into -next immediately after this current merge window closes in a 10 or so days. I think you don't have to do random cleanups just to satisfy checkpatch. Get the code in -next and then cleanup stuff as you see fit. There will then be individual commit changelogs for the mostly whitespace changes that checkpatch might point out. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
