AFAICS the kernel counterpart is going to reach mainline in 5.9-rc1
merge window. Please base your patch on "next" branch or wait until next
is merged into master after 5.8 release (which should be later today or
tomorrow).

I will wait until tomorrow and rebase my patch onto master then.

Do not mix unrelated changes like whitespace cleanups with your
functional changes, it makes it harder to see what the patch is doing.
Please split the cleanups (there are some more in qsfp.c) into
a separate patch.

I'll create separate patches for functional changes/cleanups. Thanks
for letting me know.
