Visually the aligned stuff looks nicer, and some kernel maintainers
prefer this style. Other maintainers avoid it because it causes more
churn. Indeed, imaging you need to add another field with longer name,
or one of the existing fields is renamed - then you need to re-align,
your patches become larger.
So my suggestion is to just follow maintainers' preferences.
