By the way, what is the consensus on lines over 80 characters?
checkpatch complains about the following:
WARNING: line over 80 characters
#762: FILE: drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx_dma.c:720:
+ printk(KERN_INFO "S3C24xx SPI DMA driver (c) 2007 Nordnav Technologies
AB\n");
I can of course break this into:
printk(KERN_INFO "S3C24xx SPI DMA driver (c) 2007 Nordnav "
"Technologies AB\n");
but in my opinion that becomes more even unreadable. Would it be
possible to add a special case so that checkpatch ignores long strings
that go beyond 80 characters? Do you think it is a good idea?
At the top of the file add a #define and use that in the code? Some
drivers define their version/author etc that way and then just
printk(DRIVER_VERSION DRIVER_AUTHOR);
