Your description needs to be more specific than just "coding style
fixes".  What type of problems did you fix?  How did you find them?

It looks like your fixes are for lines being over 80 characters.  While
it is preferrable that lines be less than 80 characters it is still
acceptable if they are longer.

If you are looking for things to fix I suggest looking in the
drivers/staging directory.  There are lots of things that need to be
fixed in there.
