Given these kinds of less mechanical changes, it may make sense to split
these from the "trivial" conversions in a treewide patch. The chance of
needing a revert from the simple 1:1 conversions is much lower than the
need to revert by-hand changes.
The Cocci script I suggested in my v1 review gets 80% of the first
patch, for example.
