Normally we would prefer that these are broken up into a several
different patches that each fix one type of style issue.

[patch 1/x] csr: csr_msgconv: use tab indents
[patch 2/x] csr: csr_msgconv: put curly braces on the right line
etc...

The while loop should be indented one more time.

It should be:

+
+			ret = NULL;
+	} else {
+		ret = NULL;
+	}

The rules on braces are a little bit complicated.  If it's one line
then don't use braces.  If it's two lines and you don't *need* to
use braces then still use braces.

	if (foo) {
		/* some comment */
		frob();
	}

If either side of the if else statement uses braces then use braces
on both.
