Hm...  It seems like checkpatch.pl doesn't care if the second arm of
the if else statement gets the braces or not.  But I'm definitely
right on this, it's not just a random preference I have of my own
which I tormet submitters with.  ;)

It's there in CodingStyle at the very end of the "Placing Braces and
Spaces" section.

Btw, generally for review comments introducing a bug is absolutely
forbidden but if it's a small style thing or it's an existing bug
the reviewer just noticed it's OK to send a follow on patch to clean
that up.  It's bad to ignore reviewers though because we're more
rare and thus more special than code submitters.  ;)
