I don't mind at all about this.

Even if I'm into C code for quite a long time now, I'm still new in kernel
development (just completed the Eudyptula Challenge) and I thought it could
be both a harmless and useful way to start contributing and get used with it
to focus a bit on ./checkpatch.pl suggestions (which is the actual entity to
blame about it).

This is the reason why I submitted the patch but it's not a personal
preference. If you prefer these braces laid out the older way, I'll let
them as is next time. If there's another usages I should know about, just
let me know.

Cheers.
