Yup, would be good to have... Regarding whitespace changes, I don't think we have many trailing whitespace problems in spice*, probably a bit more tabs here and there. Regarding fixing whitespace, I'll generally ack patches fixing one or 2 unrelated whitespace issues in a function the commit is modifying, or a patch fixing the whitespace issues in a file the patch series is going to change. Not sure what I would say to a patch fixing this over all the codebase (mostly depends on how big it would be :) Christophe
