Checkpatch says:

WARNING: Missing commit description - Add an appropriate one

There needs to be some kind of description of those pedantic cleanups.

On top of that, while the affected Kconfig file generates 42 checkpatch
warnings, this patch doesn't fix a single one of them. I don't really
see the point of this patch.

Thanks,
Guenter
