In preparation for later splitting out some of the arch-dependent code from osl.c, clean up the errors reported by checkpatch.pl. They fell into these classes:
-- remove the FSF address from the GPL notice -- "foo * bar" should be "foo *bar" (and the ** variation of same) -- a return is not a function, so parentheses are not required.

checkpatch.pl is irrelevant here. You're trying to make the coding style be more consistent with the coding style of the rest of the kernel.
The warnings from checkpatch.pl are meaningless for the existing code, so it should not be used to justify changes in that code.
Of course, the same applies to patches [2-4/9].
