We have limit up to 100 columns in the driver right, I am ok to change
to 80 but just checking if I misunderstood something.
Please take a look at Documentation/process/coding-style.rst, which
clearly states:
The preferred limit on the length of a single line is 80
columns.
Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible
chunks, unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases
readability and does not hide information.
So generally you should stay within 80 columns, unless not doing so
*significantly* increases readability. (And note that making such
decisions requires human judgement, which is why checkpatch now only
warns about lines longer than 100 chars.)

ok got it Johan, As checkpatch is not reporting any warnings or errors
for I misunderstood this. I will correct the comments to fit in 80
columns in my next series.
