Well...  I do these little fixups

a) to remind originators that they should be checking their stuff with
checkpatch

b) to fold into the offending base patch prior to sending upstream

c) to let upstream (in this case you) know that the patch had coding-style
problems.

as it appears that you merged the base patch without noticing the error,
and without running checkpatch I don't think it's worth merging a silly
one-liner like this on its own.
