I think this patch is not useful.

It's not redundant.

Two spaces after a period is commonly used to separate sentences.
It's especially common when used with fixed pitch fonts.

A trivial grep seems to show it's used about 50K times in comments.
Though single space after period may be used about twice as often.

$ git grep '^\s*\*.*\.  [A-Z]' | wc -l
54439
$ git grep '^\s*\*.*\. [A-Z]' | wc -l
110003

For drivers/base/power/runtime.c, that 2 space after period style is used 
dozens of times and changing a single instance of it isn't very useful.
