Linus could easily do "lindent reformat" commit every once in a while or even automate it. It seems they do not care that much for the styleguide?

Linus shuns commits that do nothing by reformat code. However, if you go in and make a change, then you'll probably get marked down by the maintainer if you don't fix up the formatting at that time.
