Then let the maintainer (nominally me) shout at Andrew.  I don't agree
with those style changes and we usually leave such purely stylistic
things to the maintainer of the file in question.  If Andrew requires
these changes, then Andrew is wrong about this.  It just confuses the
real changes and adds to the overheads of those trying to do reviews (of
which we have too few).  And in this case "fix" is in the eye of the
beholder.

If you (or Andrew) thinks that those style changes are necessary, then
send them separately and I will NAK them :-)  In this case it is pure
churn for absolutely no gain whatsoever.  Two of the hunks weren't even
anywhere near the real changes.

/me is letting the linux-next work go to his head :-)
