I haven't seen this pointed out by others before: starting a commit
message with "This patch..." is redundant (it is a commit message, thus
what it describes is surely a patch) and most times leads to bad style
commit messages.

In this case the commit message can simply be:

Add a blank line after enum and struct declarations.

or

Ensure that enum and struct declarations are followed by a blank line.

Cheers,
Daniele
