FYI, quoting from https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/clang-format.html

 While it might be tempting to use this to keep a file always in sync with
 clang-format, specially if you are writing new files or if you are a
 maintainer, please note that people might be running different clang-format
 versions or not have it available at all. Therefore, you should probably
 refrain yourself from using this in kernel sources; at least until we see if
 clang-format becomes commonplace.

 Remember that you can always tweak the changes afterwards in those cases where
 the tool did not do an optimal job. But as a first approximation, it can be
 very useful.
