AFAICS the kernel counterpart is going to reach mainline in 5.9-rc1
merge window. Please base your patch on "next" branch or wait until next
is merged into master after 5.8 release (which should be later today or
tomorrow).

There is no need to start a new line.

Do not mix unrelated changes like whitespace cleanups with your
functional changes, it makes it harder to see what the patch is doing.
Please split the cleanups (there are some more in qsfp.c) into
a separate patch.
