This patch subject is not correct.  This is not a staging patch.

Your commit message is also incomplete as this is modifying comments,
changing whitespace, and changing brace styles.

and IMO:

Either use a single line case style like:

	case foo: statement; break;

or use a multiple line case style like:

	case foo:
		statement;
		break;

but please do not use a mixed case one line and statement; break;
on another like:

	case foo:
		statement; break;

Please remember checkpatch is only a guide, it's not the last word
on style where every message it emits requires an actual code change.

btw: there are _many_ single line case uses in the kernel
