But, to move on, if you think it's more productive, I can fix all warnings and checks reported by the checkpatch.pl and send them over in only one patch. Is it that feasible?

I would have thought you would get a "line is too long" warning, that
didn't happen?

Anyway, no, you can't send a "fix all the issues at once" patch, sorry,
if you do that you will get a message from my patch bot that says:

- Your patch did many different things all at once, making it difficult
to review. All Linux kernel patches need to only do one thing at a
time. If you need to do multiple things (such as clean up all coding
style issues in a file/driver), do it in a sequence of patches, each
one doing only one thing. This will make it easier to review the
patches to ensure that they are correct, and to help alleviate any
merge issues that larger patches can cause.

So please break it up into logical changes.

thanks,
