Style conformity is important to people for lots of
different reasons.

It's your choice but I personally think you should
give the bluetooth folk a chance to change their style
in a single largish whitespace commit immediately post

If the bluetooth folk want help, I do have scripts
that would do a pretty decent job and make all
the git blame -w changes transparent.
