    checkpatch: categorize some long line length checks · 47e0c88b
    Joe Perches 提交于
    Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length.  Some of these
    are possibly justified by use type.
    
    For instance:
    
    structure definitions where comments are added per member like:
    struct foo {
    	type member;		/* some long description */
    
    And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style
    where a string constant is used like:
    
            SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string");
    
    Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line
    --ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings.
    
    One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument
    documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc
    required single line documentation.  The requirement was removed in 2009
    so remove that exclusion.
    
    Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer.
