checkpatch doesn't really check much about inconsistent
indentation.  I believe the only new statement indentation
check is after an if.

For instance, checkpatch doesn't emit a warning on this code:

struct foo {
		int bar;
};

struct foo *alloc_foo(void)
{
			struct foo *baz = malloc(sizeof(struct foo));
		if (baz)
			baz->bar = 1;
				return baz;
}
