Rather than doing individual patches for each line
with a whitespace issue, I think it'd be better to
do a single driver wide patch.

Perhaps use a tool like:

$ git ls-files drivers/staging/rtl8192u |
xargs ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix-inplace --types=spacing

where:

$ git diff -w drivers/staging/rtl8192u/

should not show a single difference.

Then compile and commit that as a single patch with
something like "use a more typical spacing style"
as the commit message.
