I appreciate your comments. 
My intention is to make linux kernel source as per kernel code style. In this approach I found these warnings "missing a blank line after declarations"  and made changes accordingly. 
Also, there should be blank line after declaration of a variable, correct me here if I am wrong.
As per the suggestions of Kieran Bingham, he recommended to keep the if(err) hugging the line it's associated. So to adopt this change I made changes accordingly.
