Greg is also sometimes completely crazy.

I think he's only doing this because you are a
relatively new patch submitter and he wants you
to go through some linux-kernel process hazing.

It'd be more efficient as a single patch and better
overall to avoid descriptions with multiple
characteristics that elicit Greg's somewhat OCD
reflexes.

If this commit log was merely described as "use a
normal kernel style" for the else if and nothing
else was mentioned, this would likely have been
accepted.
