Where is this documented and do you have a link to the debate? The archive for the i2c mailing list doesn't show much debate: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/?q=%2280+columns%22 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/?q=%22line+length%22 Perhaps there should be a MAINTAINERS P: entry for this requirement. >From MAINTAINERS: P: Subsystem Profile document for more details submitting patches to the given subsystem.
