Hmm, ACK. It complained, as below:

CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary after an open brace '{'
#311: FILE: drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:311:
+		    (slave_image->locked == 0)) {
+
--
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary after an open brace '{'
#513: FILE: drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:513:
+		    (master_image->locked == 0)) {
+
--
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
#684: FILE: drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:684:
+
+}
--
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'
#686: FILE: drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:686:
+
+}
--
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary after an open brace '{'
#890: FILE: drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c:890:
+		    (dma_ctrlr->locked == 0)) {
+
--

Should I keep them then and forget this patch?
