The specific checkpatch.pl error was different for each error, the quotes
were suppose to contain the specific operator but I left it out so that there
would be one generic error message. The quotes left behind were confusing,
sorry.

These were the only instances the checkpatch.pl error came up. This patch
only fixes even spacing around a specific operator. Other operators either
have even or no spacing around them with PATCH 11/19 fixing any operators
with spacing around required. This leaves operators that checkpatch deems
spacing as optional which I left as a separate issue to be addressed of making
optional spacing of operators consistent with each other.

Thanks
