Linux has tons of issues, fixes for real problems are very welcome.

But coding style bike shedding is just a waste of time.
Why do various software developers bother about coding style specifications

Coding style is important, but patches that just fix coding style are a

introducing new bugs without any net benefit to end users. This goes
double for code you don't actually work on regularly or don't completely
understand.
