OK, that's a little bit more than I bargained for.  Just wanted to clean
it up a bit while I was in that part of the tree.  But I'll give it a
go, it's Christmas (and DEC 22!!) after all :-)

We don't seem to have any .clang-format file at the moment, so if I copy
the latest version from kernel.org, where in the tree should it live?
I'm thinking we might want to reuse it for other in-tree tools, maybe
support/misc/, or perhaps each package should supply its own?

Suspected as much, thanks!
