Don't do this.  The code was better before. The parameter
"TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW | TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV" is one thing and
splitting it up like that makes the code less readable.  And I bet they
had to indent it like that to get under the 80 character limit.

This is an example of checkpatch giving bad advice.
