Well, I think it looks silly. checkpatch apparently agrees:
    WARNING: Statements should start on a tabstop
    #51: FILE: drivers/isdn/capi/capidrv.c:981:
    +		     else
    
    total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 91 lines checked
    
    NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
          mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
    
    Your patch has style problems, please review.
    
    NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
          them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.

You use checkpatch a lot, don't you? Didn't you use it to, you know,
check your patch?
