The problem with these sorts of patches is that they often break
stuff. This driver has been stable for a long time. Do we care about
coding style issues enough that we are happy to possibly break it? Do
we want to spend time on debugging it? Probably more time than it took
to fix the checkpatch issues?
The way I look at it, Maciej is the maintainer and has access to HW.
If we have to keep this driver it's better to modernize it a bit.
If nothing else it shows the maintainer is willing to put in the effort.
