This code is sick. Illness: too long lines.

checkpatch warned you but you applied the wrong cure and
broke the lines in an ugly way.

Can you	think of another cure? One of the many options:

  - eliminate many repetitive strings
  - reduce indentation by the introduction of helper inlines
  - sensible shortening of variable/field/definition names

... applies to this particular case and will solve the problem.

See my points above.

See my points above.
