For reviews of technical merit, true.

For reviews of commit log wording of whitespace
changes, where git diff -w shows no difference,
less true.

This patch seems almost entirely whitespace except
one bit reformatting a comment block.

Breaking those down into changes like:
added space after commas
added spaces around bit shifts
added spaces around arithmetic
is simply excessive.

The only comment I would have given would be to
change the patch context that added line comment
initiators to use the /** kernel-doc style.

And maybe a style change of

#define CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE (CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_KEY_SIZE + \
  CC_MULTI2_DATA_KEY_SIZE)

to

#define CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE \
(CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_KEY_SIZE + CC_MULTI2_DATA_KEY_SIZE)

as it's sometimes easier to scan arithmetic on a single line.

btw: this #define seems misleading as it's used in both .min_keysize
and .max_keysize with "+ 1" and key[CC_MULTI2_SYSTEM_N_DATA_KEY_SIZE]
is also used.
