Perhaps space aligned declarations should have some
checkpatch --strict warning for 2 or more spaces
around any assignment of the declaration.

        int a   = 1;            // 2+ spaces before =
        int b   =  2;           // 2+ spaces after =
        int c   =       3;      // uses tabs around =, no warning
        int d           = 4;    // uses 2 tabs before =, no warning
        
Something like:
