I believe these sorts of whitespace only changes should not be applied to a stable branch unless it's useful for porting other actual defect fixes.
I want to get clang build warnings down to the same level that gcc build warnings are, so that they become useful in detecting new issues. That is why I add these types of patches to the stable trees.
New issues should be found in the current kernel. Backporting whitespace changes is value-free.
