As a general rule, newer patches should follow the current CodingStyle. Yes,
I'm aware that there are several drivers not compliant with current CodingStyle
rules.

Yes, you can, but globally fixing CodingStyle is somewhat evil ;) This will
break any patch that somebody else is working with for that file. Also, any
patch applied during your development will break your patch. So, I generally
prefer not having such patches (or having it only at the last week before the
next open windows).

Applied fine, thanks.
