profits from coding (style) enhancements and adoption of current APIs.
This kind of patchset can also bring troubles, eg, people works for downstream kernel need more effort to backport fix patches due to conflict, I assume stable kernel could be affected as well. A more sensible way might be fix coding style issue while the adjacent code need to be changed because of new feature or bug etc. Anyway, just my 0.02$. BTW, pls don't top reply if possible.
