This is too many changes in a single patch to verify
them easily.

If you really want to change this file, and it's likely
not particularly necessary, I suggest that you send a
patch series that where each patch individually does:

1: Horizontal whitespace only changes
   o Trim trailing whitespace
   o Add alignment whitespace
   o Add operator spacing whitespace
2: Vertical whitespace changes if any
3: Convert embedded assignments to multiple lines
4: Comment style updates

And whatever other specific style changes necessary
to properly and easily identify them as correct.
