I agree that this is bad and shouldn't have happened when moving the code.
Already this makes git blame more difficult, so it should be as clean as
possible, source and destination should match byte-by-byte.
It happened because I had the fix for the gswip_port_fdb() (for which Vladimir
is working on a better solution) sitting below the series and that added this
bit.

I can resend just this single patch another time without the rest of the
series, or send it all again. Let me know your preference.
