we don't enforce this in netdev, especially when you want to share output,
etc .. 

also for future reference in mlx5 we allow up to 95 chars per code line, we
got wide screens :P, so also please ignore these warnings.

chkpatch = "!./scripts/checkpatch.pl --max-line-length=95 --strict --show-types --ignore COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE,FILE_PATH_CHANGES,MACRO_ARG_REUSE,MACRO_ARG_PRECEDENCE"
