I do not think this patch should be merged.

Note that all of the braces you are removing are for single statements
that span multiple lines, and that is precisely why the braces were
added in the first place. Having braces for such statements often
increase readability even if they are not mandated by the coding
standard.

So I suggest this patch is dropped.

Thanks,
Johan
