Hi Goffredo,

The Signed-off-by line is missing, it is mandatory.

Tabsize needs to be 8.

All the missing spaces and all the spaces that are too much...
One line contains a trailing TAB character before the end of the line.
A newline is missing before the opening curly bracket of the function body.
An empty line between the 'int j;' and the code is common, like the one
after the 'int i;'.

I did not look at the patch itself after noticing the style issues.
