Subject: checkpatch: fix defect in printk(KERN_<LEVEL> 80 column exceptions
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, printk lines with a only KERN_PREFIX and a quoted string
without a comma or close paren that exceed 80 columns are flagged with a
warning.
ie:
printk(KERN_WARNING "some long string that extends beond 80 cols..."
"and is continued on another line\n");
Allow this form instead of emitting a warning.
