Whose rules are they?

Find me an example in another major core subsystem, let's use

The ones he pointed out, coming from Linus aren't enough?

mm/memory.c as an example as that file gets hit by a lot of people,
that uses the multi-line conditional TAB-only crap you guys seem to
keep using.

Look again at this file and you'll see there is mixed style.

They don't.  All the examples you'll find are of the form:

       if (a &&
           b)

not:

       if (a &&
                       b)

like I see happening in bluetooth all the time.

How did you think they figured that out?  Did they read someone's
mind?

No, they used the default in emacs or another editor that has this as
default, i.e. mix tabs and spaces
