because checkpatch doesn't care about spacing around
arithmetic as long as it's consistent.

Documentation/CodingStyle doesn't say anything about
it either.

Look around checkpatch line 2654

} elsif ($op eq '<<' or $op eq '>>' or
$op eq '&' or $op eq '^' or $op eq '|' or
$op eq '+' or $op eq '-' or
$op eq '*' or $op eq '/' or
$op eq '%')
{
if ($ctx =~ /Wx[^WCE]|[^WCE]xW/) {
ERROR("SPACING",
"need consistent spacing around '$op' $at\n" .
$hereptr);
}
