Sending this mail again as I missed to reply to all.
Hi Alex,

I agree those are called bit-field member names rather than labels.
But the reason I mentioned is because the ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
gave out a warning saying "labels should not be indented".

Sorry for the confusion in the name I referred to. So, I think this
change is needed as I feel this is not following the coding-style by
having indent before the width for bit field member. I went through
other places in source code to make sure this is correct, and sent the
patch after confirmation.

Regards,
Manikishan Ghantasala
