Thank you!  But there are two frequent kernel contributors with that name;
the other is Hannes Reinecke <hare@...e.de>.

We don't.  It was just a slight legibility improvement (at least, *I*
find it more legible) included as long as I was working in the area.
But split out to avoid making review of the substantive parts any
more difficult, and so it can be dropped easily if there are objections.

We tend to avoid cosmetic cleanups if there is not other work to
do in an area, so I assume that if there *is* other work to do in
an area, cosmetic cleanups are okay.
