In my opinion, there's no need for a series here.

Whitespace only changes _should_ be done all at once.

Whitespace changes _could_ have changed string constants.

So noting that the patch in only whitespace and that
there isn't a difference in object files is useful as
it shows any change has been compiled and tested.
