It's not a limit, it's a warning only. Usually readability improves if such
long lines are split up or otherwise shortened, but if readability becomes
worse because of that, then just leave in the long line.

But the way the commands are handled, etc. should be the same or very similar.
That's the main area where I suspect you can reuse code from those other
drivers.
