From: Aditya Srivastava <yashsri421@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: avoid COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE warning for signature tags Currently checkpatch warns us for long lines in commits even for signature tag lines. Generally these lines exceed the 75-character limit because of: 1) long names and long email address 2) some comments on scoped review and acknowledgement, i.e., for a dedicated pointer on what was reported by the identity in 'Reported-by' 3) some additional comments on CC: stable@xxxxxxxx tags Exclude signature tag lines from this class of warning. There were 1896 COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE warnings in v5.6..v5.8 before this patch application and 1879 afterwards. A quick manual check found all the dropped warnings related to signature tags.
