I don't know if that works. I was hoping that checkpatch might do that
for me with --fix but it doesn't seem to warn about anything so I guess
not. Is there some sort of tidy script I can run on my patches to do
this?

It depends on the previous patch to make behavior match, so maybe it
doesn't matter because it will go through one tree instead of many?
Either way I'm fine, I just don't want to spend the time on it until a
potential maintainer accepts or rejects it because of this.
