Someone's got to be "that guy" - thanks.
I have (at last) modified my patch-preparation script to run checkpatch
and show me all the errors that I'm about to post.

I think I did see that before but didn't feel I understood it enough to
do anything with, so I deferred it.  Having the patches that you
provided, I think it is starting the make more sense.  Once I resubmit
this current series I'll have a closer look.  Probably we can just
apply the series you sent on top of mine - I might even combine the two
- and the think about whatever else needs doing.

Thanks,
