One last time: either post per-driver patches with all the cleanups for a driver
in a single patch, or a per-directory patch (drivers/media/pci, usb, etc) doing
the same cleanup for all drivers in that directory.

I prefer the first approach, but it's up to you.

We don't have the time to wade through dozens of one-liner cleanup patches.

I don't understand what is so difficult about this.
