It looks like you got this one wrong in multiple ways:

- This is not an equivalent transformation, since the errror is now
  printed in the first part of the 'if()' block as well.

- The indentation is wrong now, with the netif_err() starting in the
  same line as the '}'.

- The description mentions a change in indentation, but you did not
   actually change it.

- The changelog text appears mangled.
