Please note that max line length was recently update to 120 (I think),
so the line wrap changes here are not necessary.

Realigning the start of line like this is not worth it, please leave it
be. The kernel is full of indented comments.

This as well, etc..

The pr_cont() -> netdev_err() changes should be a separate patch.
