Need to test new patch of Ethernet Switch Framework

Hi,

I saw a report that covers FreeBSD-related projects between October and
December 2010 and I observe that it have new patch for Ethernet Switch
Framework, I have also seen a little bit inside the code of patch(
http://loos.no-ip.org/rspro/switch-1.diff).

I downloaded fresh code of FreeBSD v9 and apply command git apply
switch-1.diff but it shows me these errors:

Code:

switch.diff:397: trailing whitespace.
		printf("\tphy %d ", ifmr.ifm_phy);
switch.diff:445: trailing whitespace.
	printb("options", ifswr.ifsw_flags, IFSWBITS);
switch.diff:486: trailing whitespace.
	printf("\tvlans: ");
switch.diff:869: trailing whitespace.
		}
switch.diff:1826: trailing whitespace.
		}

I am very interested to test this patch, can anyone help me out to do
this...
