It's just not worth the effort/abuse for many maintainers to pursue it.
That seems like the easy part - it seems like anyone bright enough to
write a working Linux driver would be good enough with their editor or
perl or bash to knock that out in 10 minutes.
Or simply running it through scripts/Lindent, which fixes 97% of all
issues automatically. The remaining 3% become fixing Lindent's lack of
C99 knowledge, etc.
