It's a trivial patch, so I'm not concerned with the timing. Thanks for getting
it out!

Unfortunately, it doesn't apply and appears to be whitespace mangled. Checkpatch
complains and tabs appear to have been replaced with spaces. Please check your
send mail mechanism and resend - possibly using git-send-email or something like
mutt -H PATCHNAME. Try sending to yourself first and verifying you can apply it.

Thanks,
