hi joe,
i did the similar cleanup and generated a patch, and like you said, it was giving error.
the original file has used spaces (instead of tabs) to indent the code, now to maintain similar indention
we have to introduce similar errors, or correct the indention of the full file.

looks like i have many things to learn from you, and your experience. few days back you told me about that printk thing,
now this one. thanks .. :)
