Yes, the problem is that it is split. When merged it exceeds the 80-th
column and creates problems for editors instructed to format text on
paste. And I would not like to neither split the string onto two debug
messages, nor shorten the debug message itself. Maybe there is an
elegant solution I'm not aware of?
First, you can go up to 100 columns nowadays. Second, the column
limit is waived for strings because it is more important to not
split them. If you _still_ want to stick with 80 columns, sorry,
no, I don't have a solution. Your problem is with the editor,
not with kernel formatting rules.
