Not sure if that's long enough (maybe it is). 132 looks like the next "natural" number. The problematic case like printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s:%s:%s", var ? "yes" : "no" and so on. If we split the code like that then better use 132 than 105 - even with 132 chars we may need to split, remember it's the printk output which has to fit in 80 chars, or maybe usually has.
The main problem is checkpatch can't estimate "complexity". Fortunately the reviewers can.

Not sure what do you mean.

This makes perfect sense, at least until shown otherwise (though being a warning instead of an error means it's ok to trigger in perfectly valid code). -- Krzysztof Halasa
