I don't think changing check_patch.pl or CodingStyle will help...

I've banned Markus from sending cleanups in parts of the kernel where I
have a voice (drivers/staging).  Bugfixes are welcome, but cleanups are
not.  I've done this before for other people who introduce a bunch of
bugs in clean up patches.

It's all about ratios...  Each clean up patch has chance of introducing
a bug.  If you only send clean up patches then you only introduce bugs.
We really don't want people sending patches if they introduce more bugs
than they fix.

regards,
dan carpenter
