This is not a good change.

This line exceeds 80 columns only because
it uses very long identifiers (30+ chars).

Anything that uses these very long names
is going to be silly looking when forced
to use 80 column line length maximums.

Basically, it's OK as it is and if you
really want to change it for any reason
the other style to use is to have the
return value on a separate line like:

unsigned int
bcm2836_audio_retrieve_buffers(struct bcm2835_also_stream *alsa_stream);

Even so, that's not a good change either.
