The long line warnings are at the patch adding the Python script. IMO,
all but one are false positives:

1. Long lines at patch description because of the tool output example added
   inside the commit description:

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#148: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:83:
	+[Hardware Error]:     bus error, operation type: Generic read (type of instruction or data request cannot be determined)

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#153: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:88:
	+[Hardware Error]:     Program execution can be restarted reliably at the PC associated with the error.

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#170: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:105:
	+[Hardware Error]:    00000000: 13 7b 04 05 01                                   .{...

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#174: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:109:
	+[Firmware Warn]: GHES: Unhandled processor error type 0x10: micro-architectural error

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#175: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:110:
	+[Firmware Warn]: GHES: Unhandled processor error type 0x14: TLB error|micro-architectural error

   IMO, breaking command output at the description is a bad practice.

2. Big strings at help message:

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#261: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:196:
	+                           help="Power State Coordination Interface - PSCI state")

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#276: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:211:
	+                        help="Number of errors: 0: Single error, 1: Multiple errors, 2-65535: Error count if known")

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#278: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:213:
	+                        help="Error information (UEFI 2.10 tables N.18 to N.20)")

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#287: FILE: scripts/arm_processor_error.py:222:
	+                        help="Type of the context (0=ARM32 GPR, 5=ARM64 EL1, other values supported)")


	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#1046: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:442:
	+                           help="Marks the timestamp as precise if --timestamp is used")

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#1048: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:444:
	+                           help=f"General Error Data Block flags: {gedb_flags_bits}")

   Those might be changed if we add one variable per string to store the
   help lines, at the expense of doing some code obfuscation.

   I don't think doing it is a good idea.

3. Long class function names that are part of Python's standard library:

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#576: FILE: scripts/ghes_inject.py:29:
	+    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter,

   We can't change the big name of the argparse formatter. The only
   possible fix would be to obfuscate it by doing:

	format = argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter,
	parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=format,

   IMO this is a bad practice.

4. False-positive warning disable for pylint coding style tool:

	ERROR: line over 90 characters
	#805: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:201:
	+        data.extend(value.to_bytes(num_bytes, byteorder="little"))  # pylint: disable=E1101

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#1028: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:424:
	+        g_gen = parser.add_argument_group("Generic Error Data")  # pylint: disable=E1101

   AFAIKT, those need to be at the same line for pylint to process them
   properly.

5. A long name inside an indented block:

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#1109: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:505:
	+                                                   value=args.gen_err_valid_bits,

   Again the only solution would be to obfuscate the argument, like:

	a = args.gen_err_valid_bits

							    value=a,

   Not nice, IMHO.

Now, there is one warning that I is not a false positive, which I ended
missing:

	WARNING: line over 80 characters
	#1227: FILE: scripts/qmp_helper.py:623:
	+            ret = self.send_cmd("qom-get", args, may_open=True, return_error=False)

I'll fix it at the next respin.
