This part I would just ignore or fix myself while merging. But the next one about
the parenthesis alignment need to be fixed in the code so we need another version.
Since we try to avoid touching the code between CI and merge.

Then, since you need to change that, while changing that, also please break
the coccinelle line in the commit msg.

I'd appreciate to have the patch for the pxp as well :)

Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo.
