Hi,

getting rid of lines with multiple instructions, separated by comma is
certainly a good idea.
One nit pick, though:

Use semicolons and braces.

I can remember patches being rejected with one line statements in a condition,
surounded by braces.
I just read up Documentation/process/coding-style.rst, to be sure this still is up-to-date.
It's not a must, but line 180 says:
"Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do."

Read the block immediately below that too:

"This does not apply if only one branch of a conditional statement is a
single statement; in the latter case use braces in both branches:"

I haven't reviewed every line, but I expect you only split up comma separated instructions
into separate lines and added braces?

I do not.

While there was a defect using this style though in another patch,
this is a style only change.

Afaik there isn't a specific tag, but having:
cleanup only: No functional change

in the changelog would be nice for people looking for fixes to backport.

This is not a fix, so it's not for backporting.
