Remove whitespace at EOL

I am fine with the patch. However it should be sent properly (inline
mail, having a PATCH subject etc. -- see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst). git send-email after git
format-patch handles most of it.

There is also question who is willing to take it?

Bart? Greg? Should we route it via akpm, or will you Linus directly? (I
can sign off and resend the patch which was attached to the mail I am
replying to too, if need be.)

I can take it, if Bart can't, just let me know.

Yeah vt stuff and console drivers != fbcon go through Greg's tree past
few years ...

Greg, should we maybe add a MAINTAINERS entry that matches on all
things console? With tty/vt you definitely have the other side of that
coin already :-)

Sure, that would be good as things do fall through the cracks at times.

Since taking over fbdev in 2017 I've tried to act as the last resort
Maintainer for console stuff (AFAIK there are no "lost" patches) but
it really deserves its own entry.

Also most console patches make it through you nowadays anyway:

$ git log --pretty=fuller --since 17 drivers/video/console/|grep "Commit\:"|sort|uniq -cd

If you write the patch, I'll merge it :)

ACK from me. :)
