CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping
Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings, such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns. This avoids breaking grep. However, that recommendation did not actually appear anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle. See, for example, the thread at http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1312215262.11635.15.camel%40Joe%2dLaptop%3eSigned-off-by: NJosh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
