With all my respect to these scripted clean-up efforts, I am not sure this 
really improves anything. I.e., I am not sure, that

	z = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(x, y);

is better readable than

	z = (x + y / 2) / y;

Besides, I do realise, that tmscsim.c indentation is dreadful (legacy 
code...) but this patch changes it further from

	printk("...",
	       x,
	       y);

to

	printk("...",
		x,
		y);

which doesn't seem like an improvement to me either. That said, this does 
compile, and I don't see why this shouldn't work, so, if we really want 
this change here's the
