I'm going to fix some of them, but I'm not fixing all of them. The
reason is that some of these should have been done to the code already,
and I'm not going to mess up my patches integrating coding style fixes
amongst moving code around.

The warnings about "over 80 characters" are fine for new code but not
when code is merely being moved - there it's far more important not to
reformat code.

The errors you refer to are:
(a) in Fabio's patch adding imx-hdmi support, a derivative of which has
already been accepted into the staging tree.
(b) in ipuv3-crtc.c, where checkpatch detects the presence of the FSF
address in the context of my patch.

So, these are not my problem to fix, and I will *not* fix these "errors"
in this series.
