Unfortunately, in order to properly be able to review patches, one patch
must only fix or change a single thing a time.

For example, I've noticed your patch fixes many cases of wrong placement of
curly brackets in the code. If the patch would ONLY fix this error where ever it
is it would be fine!

However, your patch also fixes other style errors at the same time, making it
difficult to review, so unfortunately it has to be rejected as it is now.

Please feel free to send a series of patches each fixing a different style error
instead.

Thanks,
Gilad
