I was following the error messages in checkpatch.pl, but the warning went away after adding this line. No problem
with the code.

This is the same as above. Just going through the checkpatch.pl script, and looking for warnings to fix. 

As you might have guessed, this is one of my first patches. I wasn't sure if a patch like this would even get
reviewed, and responded to. I'm subscribed to the linux-kernel mail group, and seeing what is acceptable. 

Thanks for the review. I don't plan on making a habit of submitting such incredibly trivial patches, but you 
have to start somewhere, and I thought it'd be hard to screw up by fixing a couple of trivial style errors.
