Hi.

checkpatch issuing either an ERROR or WARNING isn't
really relevant to the subject.

This isn't really a resend.  It's a different version
and so the subject should not say "Resend".  Ideally,
you send this with a subject like:

[PATCH V2] staging: ion: Whitespace neatening

and if needed again:

[PATCH V3] staging: ion: Whitespace neatening

etc...

and below:

Please realign the arguments to the open parenthesis like:

	long (*custom_ioctl)(struct ion_client *client, unsigned int cmd,
			     unsigned long arg);

realignment here too

etc.
