Andy is strictly speaking correct that the indent should be separate patch
but meh - not worth the time to split that out + the change makes the
fixed code itself easier to read. 

I added a tiny comment to say it the indent tidying up was incorporated
so the fixed code was more readable.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for stable.

Given timing this may well go in during the merge window rather than
before.
