Then why, as the original driver authour and current maintainer
do I not get told about this? This isn't the first time I've come
to apply this sort of thing and find that someone else has slipped
in an 'trivial' change such as whitespace that breaks an entire
patch series.

Do people not bother to check who wrote the driver or who is the
current maintainer before doing these things?
