While reading through sound/soc/codecs/wm8994.c I noticed a fair amount of trailing whitespace. This patch gets rid of it.

Jesper,
is it really worth it? The code should have been fixed before merging, yes, but once it's there, such fixups tend to only make people angry (because they have to do unnecessary extra steps during git blame).
If I may interject, I assume you mean that nobody wants to see the fact that somebody simply changed whitespace. However, the text of `git help blame' suggests that the `-w' flag obviates the issue:
Ignore whitespace when comparing the parent's version and the child’s to find where the lines came from.
Of course, I've never used it, so I may be mistaken in my interpretation.
That indeed does what it should do, but as it's not git default, then quitting git blame and reruning it with '-w' seems to be equally annoying to quitting git blame and reruning it with 'particular_commit~1"
