Ah.  I assumed you were sending out one chunk at a time something you
had 'done', sorry.  To be clear, what I prefer is a series of patches
that get something done.  A single small cleanup like you posted is
fine, but if you have it as part of a larger change, just include it in
the series.  'Documentation/SubmittingPatches' is probably a good
reference, subsituting linux-kernel with linuxppc-embedded :)
