But really, why bother?

Just because checkpatch bleats some message doesn't
mean it _has_ to be fixed.

Please strive to make the code more readable and
intelligible for _humans_.  Compilers don't care.

broad cleanups like this make 'git blame' harder to use to find root causes.

I don't have any issue with broad cleanups and I think
the git blame argument is overblown.

If and when broad cleanups are done, it's best if there
is some other concurrent desire to improve logic, reduce
object code size, and/or other code refactoring other
than mere whitespace changes.
