That's a lot of churn -- we don't usually worry about doing whitespace
cleanups unless somebody's immediately going to do a lot of work on
the device (in which case the ws cleanup is usually the first patch
in the series as preparation for the patches doing the interesting
stuff.)

The rationale for not doing big whitespace or style cleanups is that
it makes tools like 'git blame' less useful for looking at the
history of lines in the file.
