fixed some "Alignment should match open parenthesis" checks.

Note that this is not something that is mandated by the kernel coding style, but rather a preference of the authors of checkpatch (and the check is only enabled when the --strict option is given or when checkpatch is run on net and staging code).

As the author and maintainer of this particular code, I do not think this patch should be applied, but Greg may have a different opinion on this as the overall staging maintainer.

Signing up for the kernel clean up crew while I learn C

I would strongly suggest learning C *before* moving on to do kernel work.
