Per process/coding-style.rst, you should keep a string like that on
one line even if that exceeds 80 columns:

  Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks, unless
  exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does not hide
  information. ... However, never break user-visible strings such as
  printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them.
