I can make it Nx8 :)

Seriously now - I don't understand what is so wrong with checkpatch fixes?
I'm a new to kernel development, and the natural place to start is to do some
coding style fixes.
I thought fixing a driver that I actually use daily will be more satisfying.
Why driver being old is a good reason to ignore the coding style conventions?
