Jakub Kicinski ab4ee77ed9 docs: netdev: refine the clean-up patch examples ...

We discourage sending trivial patches to clean up checkpatch warnings.
There are other tools which lead to patches of similarly low value
like some coccicheck warnings. The warnings are useful for new code
but fixing them in the existing code base is a waste of review time.

Broaden the example given in the doc a little bit.
