This is the only rule (enforcement) I see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=next-20181120&id=d1fe9c099cecc6e49324355f1b15573e9dbbe0f9

Spacing (less than a tab), after

It seems that alignment was being implemented with tab+space, and now it 
would be tab+space but no alignment.
