On the other hand if you submit a patch that addresses a real bug, then simultaneously doing a checkpatch related patch to the same area is a very good idea.
No, that would be two different things. Do the bug fix first, and then the cleanup on a different patch. And even then, most maintainers will not take a cleanup patch. Stick with subsystems that do take these types of fixes if you want/like to do them (i.e. drivers/staging/*) thanks, greg k-h
