There's a real error in this patch.

When you do whitespace only changes, please
verify that the old and new object files produced
are unchanged.

One trivial bit too,

I think most prefer function pointer prototypes like:

	size_t (*show)(struct edd_device *edev, char *buf);
	int (*test)(struct edd_device *edev);

This is wrong.
It's an assignment in the block and it's important.

This could be rewritten as:

	for (i = 0; i < edd_num_devices(); i++) {
		edev = edd_devices[i];
		if (edev)
			edd_device_unregister(edev);
	}

or just remove the temporary.
