These indentation errors are false positives.

Make scripts/checkpatch.pl accept tabs in linux-headers/, instead of
changing scripts/update-linux-headers.sh to expand tabs when importing.

Sure, and when we are at it ... are *.pl files going to be reindented?

e.g. checkpatch.pl uses tabs consistently, get_maintainer.pl is a
horrible mix of tabs and spaces [1], and clean-header-guards.pl uses 4
spaces for an indent.

---
1: get_maintainer.pl assumes that tab is 8 spaces and uses 1 tab for
   every two consecutive indents and 4 spaces for indents that cannot be
   tabified, then tops the ugliness by also using 8 and 12 spaces for 2
   and 3 indents, respectively.

I think it would be better to not apply any qemu coding style checks to
a headers update. Something like 'check if this contains header updates
_only_' would make more sense, but that is beyond my nonexisting perl
skills...

I have posted another vesion that does not check for any code style in
hunks that modify linux-headers and include/standard-headers,
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-08/msg01824.html

We still want to check header-only updates in other headers ...
Your condition would draw attention to linux header updates that also
touch other files, but I think that a diffstat is enough.

The script would need some preprocessing to know that only headers are
modified or buffering of errors until the script knows that only headers
were modified; neither is hard, but the added complexity is not
compensated by usefulness, IMO.

If there's no quick way to check, it's not worth spending too much time
on it, I agree.
