No.  We're not going to merge the broken patch which removes the
static.

Plus your patch numbering is totally bogus.
[PATCH 2/2]
[PATCH 3/3]
[PATCH 4/4]
[PATCH 5/5]

The second number is supposed to say how many patches there are in
the series.  If these were bug fixes, we'd go out of our way to work
with you, but you're just sending random whitespace fixes so they
have to be pretty much perfect.  (In other words, please slow down
and work more carefully or else focus on fixing bugs instead of
whitespace).
