I think you can and should ignore long line warnings
where appropriate.

and...

Another way this could be changed is to put the
return value on a separate line like:

i40e_status
i40e_aq_set_vsi_unicast_promiscuous(struct i40e_hw *hw, u16 seid, bool set,
				    struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details)

i40e_status
i40e_aq_set_vsi_unicast_promiscuous(struct i40e_hw *hw, u16 vsi_id, bool set,
				    struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details);

etc...

but once you use extremely long 35+ characters
function names, 80 columns gets a bit silly too.
