Processing the patch with 'git apply' complains about a corruption; this is due
to the fact that I ran cleanfile on the patch. The checkpatch.pl script was
giving errors about trailing whitespace. I ran cleanpatch, errors still showed
up, I ran cleanfile and it passed.

Using 'patch -p1 < patchname' seems to work.

I can resubmit the patch but for 'git apply' to work it will be failing the
checkpatch.pl script. What should I do in this case?
