Subject: [patch] checkpatch: Fixes: tag lines are allowed to be long
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:07:36 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150714110736.GA10856@mwanda> (raw)

A lot of the Fixes: tags go over the 75 character limit and that's ok.

Fixes: 2a076f40d8c9 ('checkpatch, SubmittingPatches: suggest line wrapping commit messages at 75 columns')
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
