Yes, the current patch is too difficult to review.  I can't see what's
the real change and what's the coding style fixes.  So please split.

But, note that in general a coding style cleanup patch makes sense
only if the resultant code becomes significantly more readable.  If
it's just for shutting up checkpatch, it's a wast of time.  It might
be even worse, it makes harder to track the changes via git.

And, the coding style fixes must not change anything else than the
coding style.  It must not change the proc file texts, for example, 
as the current patch modifies the proc output "No vide" to "no
video".  Such a thing can't be changed silently. 


thanks,

Takashi
