Please make this:

static struct armada_gem_object *
armada_gem_alloc_object(struct drm_device *dev, size_t size)

instead - if we're going to break it across lines, there's no need to
break it across three, and always keep the return type on one line,
like the other instance you've modified below.

Thanks.
