I doubt this kind fo distraction is desirable in the middle of a
seriously heavy series like this one.  As a standalone clean-up to
turn these directly to "their" that everybody would agree on and can
be merged down quickly to 'master' that does not have to keep the
body of the main topic waiting for the dust to settle might be a
better approach.

I am really curious, though. Has it not been our practice to encourage
preparatory patches like white-space or const fixes as part of patch
series that touch a certain part of the code that needed fixing?

Yes, isn't that "preparatory clean-up" what I said "might be a
better approach"?

What I meant by "preparatory clean-up" is a patch in the patch series,
just as I had it.

Now it is a separate patch "series".
