What you suggest is not at all generally accepted kernel style.

What's desired here is:

memcpy(skb_put(skb_out, mac_header_len), mac_header_data,
mac_header_len);

Second line should be:
[tab][7 spaces]mac_header_len);

etc...

btw: Please run your _patches_ through checkpatch.pl, not just
use it to find style issues in files.
