Certainly - 2 (and 3) come from checkpatch.pl suggestions 
(I'm mostly following through https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch ), 
so as suggested I've broken them into a separate patch, being
styling related only (at least according to that script output).

The intent behind 1 is helping developing code that does TX timestamping
- I lost a good chunk of time toying with it until I realised 127.0.0.1
could not do TX timestamping because lo did not implement it.
