I realized that looking at later patches in this series, but then you
could similarly argue that the other requested adjustments are
unnecessary. But please always keep in mind that series may get
applied partially. And of course ideally a series wouldn't introduce
code just for a later patch to delete it again - i.e. if you already
find you want/need to do that, then please accept that coding
style remarks are still being made and considered relevant.
