The issue isn't you sending patches, the issue is that you don't spend
enough time on them.

As I understand it, the formatting for function calls is that if the
arguments flow onto a new line, they start in the column after the
opening bracket of the function call.

I.e.

do_something(arg, arg, arg,
/* 13 cols */arg, arg, arg);

(Using tabs and spaces instead of the comment of course)

In this case, you're dropping 6 characters from the line with the
function call. You then need to re-flow the arguments to suit.

Thanks,
