I'm not applying this.
I tell people to make sure arguments line up correctly to the openning parenthesis on the previous line, and that is what is happening here.
I am not against lining up the arguments but what about checkpatch ? Are we going to ignore the complaints or is this line limit about to be changed ?
Refactor the code so that both constraints can be satisfied.
Is this so hard to understand?
Well, my crystal ball did not unveil that a checkpatch complaint you silently introduced would mean somebody else has to refactor the code. Guess I have to get a replacement unit.
No-one has to refactor the code. I think David's point is that he's more concerned about proper alignment than having every line under 80 characters. If you want to satisfy the latter constraint, you still have to satisfy the former.
