There shouldn't be more than 78 characters per line. I did this change for this patch (the other you already submited). More info:

Understood - thanks Andrei, I'll try to bear that in mind.

Perhaps you'd be open to the idea of a patch to add these requirements into the meta-raspberrypi README in-between 5A/5B.

I believe it would help contributors like myself, who are new to the process requirements, to understand how to put a patch together correctly, as well as where to sent it.

Cheers,
