I was going to apply as a fix to net and stable but too many small nits
here to pass. First of all please add a From: line at the beginning of
the mail which matches the signoff (or use git-send-email, it'll get it
right).

Align continuations of the lines under '(' like: 

  ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --max-line-length=80 --strict 

is asking you to.

ditto

And here, etc.

The end of this line should be a semicolon.

Thanks!
