I'm not asking you to get involved in the Great Line Length Debate;
that's why I didn't attempt to patch CodingStyle or similar.  However, I
think it makes sense for *checkpatch* to stop emitting this warning.

I'm hoping that Greg will chime in, as the maintainer of staging and the
recipient of a huge number of checkpatch-motivated patches.
