Thanks, can you format that patch with a simple description and a
Signed-off-by: line and I'll apply it (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
especially part 12).

Then can you send me another patch with the results of your script.

Finally, I suggest that your script should only fix files when passed --fix,
and create a config option to run it (without --fix) under in
lib/Kconfig.debug.

Thanks!
Rusty.
