Checkpatch already has too many checks IMO and I'm a bit surprised that
it doesn't check this already. Perhaps it's because you used the -f to
run checkpatch on in-kernel code, which you should not.

Second, that sentence is not capitalised so why do add a period?

How about capitalize the sentence, or just remove the period ?

How about just leaving this unchanged?

OK
And I will keep the patch 8/9, and combine space issues into
one new patch, and remove the others.

Yeah, 8/9 is arguably a fix even if it's for a very minor issue
(repeated words in a comment).

It doesn't look like any of the white space issues are worth fixing,
though. Such pedantry can usually be addressed when the code in question
is being modified for other reasons.
