Notice also checkpatch change...

First of all, I don't have a preference over wrapping here. As I said,
I sent v1 with 80 and got a response to change it to 100. You want me
basically to bounce from A to B to A to B.

Because we all share here our ideas...

I understood your preference. There is nothing unclear here. Other
person had different preference. I told you my arguments that it is
not reasonable to jump A->B->A->B just because each person has a
different view. At the end it's the subsystem maintainer's decision as
he wants to keep his subsystem clean.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
