checkpatch.pl is irrelevant here.  You're trying to make the coding style be
more consistent with the coding style of the rest of the kernel.

The warnings from checkpatch.pl are meaningless for the existing code, so
it should not be used to justify changes in that code.

Of course, the same applies to patches [2-4/9].
