To be honest, I don't know if the ext2 devs really want to bother with
this...

OK, thanks for the info. Is there maybe a way to know in advance if maintainers
of a certain subsystem wouldn't accept this kind of janitorial patches?
Best regards,

This patch mostly feels like something to make checkpatch not complain
and not something with other value than that. Those kinds of patches
are totally welcome in staging.
Outside of staging it should be something where a human says, "Yes.
This definitely makes the code more readable."
Bug fixes are accepted everywhere.
