Now I'm not the network driver maintainer, so he might take this type of
thing, but I sure wouldn't.

I understand your want to dump the updated version of the driver in, and
then clean it up, but come on, allowing changes like this, that you can
see are obviously wrong (same goes for the return lines), and then
cleaning it up (hopefully) later on?

You can edit the diff by hand to remove this type of thing, so the churn
for it is not needed at all, which makes your overall diff smaller and
series easier to read and understand.

but that's just my opinion...
