I personally use long strings (because they are less hassle to write), except when they are ridiculously long. But checkpatch complains either way, so checkpatch itself is not a reason to make a change. Certainly grepping for a complete seq_printf() is unlikely (i.e. you had to open the debugfs file to see it, so you must already know where to look in the code). -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
