I've never tried it, but from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle:

"However, that's not too bad, because even the makers of GNU indent
recognize the authority of K&R (the GNU people aren't evil, they are
just severely misguided in this matter), so you just give indent the
options '-kr -i8' (stands for "K&R, 8 character indents")..."
