I don't like it either, but it's better than trying to figure out how to
add and flow new arguments into the call-site while also leaving the
indentation in the same broken state.  At the same time it seems more
consistent to fix up most faults rather than only touching clk calls.

It's unfortunate that there's no proper autoformatter for C, that is
consistently used across the kernel tree.  Makes for a lot of mundane,
error-prone, manual work.  But alas.
