I'm not asking you to get involved in the Great Line Length Debate; that's why I didn't attempt to patch CodingStyle or similar. However, I think it makes sense for *checkpatch* to stop emitting this warning.
I'm hoping that Greg will chime in, as the maintainer of staging and the recipient of a huge number of checkpatch-motivated patches.
