I would agree in general, but this case is different: the SoundWire code
in the upstream kernel is missing parts left and right and isn't fully
functional as is. I will soon be posting what's missing, so this cleanup
is an opportunity to bring SoundWire to the latest coding standards
before adding the missing pieces which will be compliant with --strict.
For the record using --strict already exposed 3 major issues in the
yet-to-be-released code, so it's not as subjective as you describe it.
