Subject: Re: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add line-length options, set default to 100

It doesn't make sense for everyone to pick a different standard.

I do hate the check, but if it were disabled by default when people
used the -f option, that would make me happy.  The -f option is
mostly used by newbies trying to write a My First Kernel Patch.

dan carpenter
