checkpatch.pl shows that in this file there are other occurances of
style deviations - of same or other kinds. Could you please present work
on wider scope, e.g. on whole wlan-ng/, or at last making this one file
to pass checkpatch.pl --strict cleanly?

Not that I don't appreciate this small achievement, but I believe
maintainers won't merge this one, exactly because there is more work of
same kind in the same file.
