I'm not clear if there is consensus on the style issue at play here.
And so I am neutral on this patch.

But perhaps if these lines are being updated then the following check patch
warnings could be addressed.

$ scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict this.patch
WARNING: function definition argument 'struct ql_adapter *' should also have an identifier name
#122: FILE: drivers/staging/qlge/qlge.h:2060:
+	int (*get_flash)(struct ql_adapter *);

WARNING: function definition argument 'struct ql_adapter *' should also have an identifier name
#123: FILE: drivers/staging/qlge/qlge.h:2061:
+	int (*port_initialize)(struct ql_adapter *);

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
      mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

"[PATCH] staging: qlge: remove unnecessary spaces before function pointer args" has style problems, please review.

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
      them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
