Re: [PATCH 3/3] staging: wlags49_h2: mdd.h: fixes tons of codingstyle issues

Will do. Just a quick question: Is it acceptable to submit small
patches even if the main file still fails the checkpatch,pl script?
i.e. is it OK to fix e.g. the first 20 instances of C99 // comment
usage, even if 200 remain afterwards, and then fix them later?
