You are adding trailing whitespace on every one of your newlines you are
adding :(

I suggest using an editor that shows this up as a bright red mark, it
makes it more obvious you are doing something wrong.

Also try running checkpatch.pl on the patches you are writing to make
sure you do not add more errors/warnings when you are trying to fix them
up.
