I was only pointing out that, for the global `.clang-format` file, the
style in `coding-style.rst` should be followed. Then subsystem
maintainers may override it if really needed.

I definitely agree that we should aim to have a consistent style.
However, by allowing a few exceptions, some major subsystems may start
using `clang-format` sooner.
