Hi Alan, If it flags a warning on a line of code that your patch touches, then go ahead and trim the whitespace. If you find that it flags a warning on a line of code in the surrounding diff context, but not something that you're actually changing, then don't bother. I agree that doing a mass clean-up would make a patch noisy and more difficult to review.
There are some known issues with false positives on the whitespace check right now. Fixes are in progress.
