SubjectRe: [PATCH] intel-rng: Undo mess made by an 80 column extremist

My concern with that logic is that encourages random, super-wide code
lines that varies with each coder. You are left to the mercy of he with
the widest text window.

The 80-column rule is good as a general guideline, though there are
obvious exceptions. Comments IMO are not one of them. That rapidly
creates unreadable code.
