I don't really pay attention to which files have pre-existing TABs.
You're right that preserving whole-file TABs is a bit nicer from
consistency than reformatting a file wholesale; but then you have to
tell checkpatch that preserving TABs was intentional.  Mixed mode
indentation is not as consistent, but at least keeps checkpatch happy
without effort, and may make it easier for a patch down the road to
finally do wholesale conversion of the rest of the file to avoid TABs.

So when it comes to a file with existing TABs, I'm okay whether the
patch preserves TABs (with documentation that it is doing so
intentionally) or switches to mixed-mode spaces.
