Hi Stefan,

Below is the updated patch


Patch to fix coding style whitespace issues and replace __initcall
with device_initcall. Fixed multi-line comments as per coding style.

Errors as reported by checkpatch.pl :-
Before:
total: 14 errors, 14 warnings, 487 lines checked
After :
total: 0 errors, 8 warnings, 509 lines checked

Compile tested binary verified as :-
Before:
 text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 2405       4       0    2409     969 kernel/kallsyms.o
After :
 text     data     bss     dec     hex filename
 2405       4       0    2409     969 kernel/kallsyms.o
