Also, large parts of the kernel have maintainers who do *not* want to see checkpatch fixes, because there's 2 basic possibilities: 1) The code is being actively worked on by others as well, in which case your patches can cause merge conflicts for no real benefit. 2) The code isn't being worked on, which means your patches (if incorrect) may cause code instability for no real benefit. End result is that most of the kernel only wants style fixups as part of a series of actual code patches - if you're fixing bugs or redoing an algorithm, then send style patches as part of the series. The rules are different for anything under drivers/staging - all code in there is assumed to be manure that needs fixing, so feel free to fix it. :)
