If you want to start doing coding style fixes, please start in
drivers/staging/ where they are welcome and expected.  Not in a
subsystem where you do not know if it's needed or not.

And note, using --strict outside of drivers/staging/ is almost never a
good idea, most of the time that work is not wanted, so watch out.

good luck!
