Perhaps we should increase line length limit, 132 should be fine.
I think checkpatch is useful, but I've agreed from the beginning that
the line length complaint is completely silly.
If a driver is full of lines of length >80, that's a problem. If it's
just a few, that's more of a developer decision based on the individual
line of code.
