Adhere to Linux kernel coding style.
Issue reported by checkpatch:

This is not something that is part of the coding style and just an excessive warning that that checkpatch issues when run with the --pedantic (a.k.a. --strict) flag.
You can use that flag on your own code if you prefer, but don't send "cleanups" like this for code that is already in the kernel. It's just noise.
If you want to practise on how to create and submit a patch, these kind of patches are accepted for code under drivers/staging however.
