Why did you delete and then put back braces?

Same question.

Why did you delete and then put back an empty line?

I guess that things went the following way (please check yourself):

1) You made a patch with some mistakes (i.e., deleted _necessary_ braces 
and lines).
2) You realized your own mistakes.
3) You made a second patch on your first patch (because you forgot to git-
reset the first version - you probably now see two patches with git-log).
4) You didn't look at git-diff before committing and sending.

If so, please notice that this is not the right way to fix mistakes. 
Maintainers don't want to see that, for instance, you deleted a line and 
then you put it back. Patches must show only net changes, not the entire 
story of trial, errors, fixes.

Please learn and use Git properly. I'd suggest you to work on drivers/
staging, otherwise you may risk that patches coming from your address 
become ignored by Maintainers and other developers working in more mature 
parts of Linux (this means everywhere but drivers/staging).

Thanks,

Fabio
