Quoting documentation:

  Clean-up patches
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Netdev discourages patches which perform simple clean-ups, which are not in
  the context of other work. For example:

  * Addressing ``checkpatch.pl`` warnings
  * Addressing :ref:`Local variable ordering<rcs>` issues
  * Conversions to device-managed APIs (``devm_`` helpers)

  This is because it is felt that the churn that such changes produce comes
  at a greater cost than the value of such clean-ups.

  Conversely, spelling and grammar fixes are not discouraged.
