These kinds of trivial cleanups are best done in a late -rc, when the patch rate goes down. However, pure whitespace cleanups have very little value like this, particularly since it looks like you're breaking the formatting in some cases. It would be better to address them in passing if there's some more substantial change which needs to be done to the code. http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/ should be a good place to look for suggestions.
