This patch is just the result of two substitutions. The first removes
any tabs and spaces at the end of the line. The second replaces runs
of tabs and spaces at the beginning of comment lines with a single

I think the second of these isn't done well.
The aim of this patch is not to fix code style, but to make it possible to
compare these two files so that the fork can be repaired. Regexp is very
helpful in creating uniformity (and a minimal diff).
If this was a coding style issue, we would be discussing the use of
kernel-doc format for the affected comments, not whitespace.
Many of these comments post reformatting are
much worse to read because of lost alignment.
You exaggerate a very trivial point.

I prefer that all patches be improvements.
I admit that a small proportion of comments are slightly less readable.
But it is the diff that needs to be readable in order to resolve the fork.
diff -w works well.
