Hi,
last year in December we decided that it is not worth to strictly follow the 80 chars per line rule in the linux coding style document. But after receiving 3 patches in the last month to fix such or similar problems (which could not be merged due to other changes already applied to both branches) I want to propose following patches which try to resolve these problems in files which get submitted to the mainline kernel.
For trunk: [PATCH-trunk 1/2] batman-adv: Fix whitespace problems criticized by checkpatch.pl [PATCH-trunk 2/2] batman-adv: Reduce max characters on a line to 80
For maint branch: [PATCH-maint 1/2] batman-adv: Fix whitespace problems criticized by checkpatch.pl [PATCH-maint 2/2] batman-adv: Reduce max characters on a line to 80
Best regards, Sven
