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);
