Since `diff-setup-whitespace' unconditionally sets whitespace-style from
a hardcoded value, this is the natural fix.

I think you don't need a duplication.  You can reuse an existing type
definition by looking up the `custom-type` symbol property of an already
defined option.  See e.g. "lisp/eshell/em-cmpl.el" for a few example
definitions.

Michael.
