The line length ones I'm not worried about, those are just warnings..

Checkpatch is finding real issues with your patches.. You have
indentations issues in several of the patches. Your removing good
formatting and replacing it improper formatting. For instance,

ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#115: FILE: arch/blackfin/kernel/module.c:102:
+^I^I           (!strcmp(".bss", shname) &&$

The line your removing had the proper formatting, but this new line has
improper formatting.. You have several of these issues, you must think
they aren't important but checkpatch has the WARNING and ERROR
classification for a reason .. The errors are actual style violation
that really need to be either cleaned up or explained..

They can be trivially fixed, it's just a matter of adding the proper
indentation ..
