Hi Mario,

Thanks for your patch, but this kind of change to the Linux core is not
generally welcomed. There are a lot of people working on the core and
having whitespace changes conflict with real changes isn't a good use of
people's time. You can practice whitespace changes in drivers/staging
before graduating to patches which change functionality.

Hope to see you back soon!
