grep shows what kernel style is most used.

Your form:
	}
	else if (...) {

(This shows 3 lines per instance)
$ grep-2.5.4 -rP --include=*.[ch] '}\n[ \t]*else if.*{\n' * | wc -l
909

Generally used form:
	} else if (...) {

(mostly shows 2 lines per instance)
$ grep-2.5.4 -rP --include=*.[ch] '} else if.*{\n' * | wc -l
31653

That's ~50:1 preference for "} else if (...) {"

true enough.
