Please do not generate patches purely based on checkpatch.

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/*)
