Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers: staging: rtl8192u: Fix "space required before
 the open parenthesis '('" errors

Umm.. you have to fix more than one error if there's more than one
error on or very near the same line you are already fixing, else
checkpatch.pl complains that your patch has errors.  Not to mention
Greg KH has never complained:
