But what will the checkpatch crew then work on? Better staging than the
rest of the kernel.

Perhaps just let them keep at it until we move the rest out (the price
we pay for taking this through staging apparently).

But there can't be that many instances left of this alignment
"violation" in staging/greybus (~4 it seems) if you want to get it over
with.
