Subject: False-positive in Checkpatch

Hi Checkpatch Maintainers

The selftest patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220817073649.26117-1-matthias.may@westermo.com/T/#u
claims too long lines.
However this seems to be a misinterpretation of the indention before the printf split over 2
lines to exactly not have too long lines.
The false positive checkpatch results are also on the netdev patchwork:
