While I realise that the URL is long, netdev still prefers lines to be
no longer than 80 characters, so please wrap the comment accordingly.
The URL is probably fine (since there isn't any option), and then
dev_warn_once() string shouldn't be broken over separate lones either.

However, also consider whether moving this code block into a function
would tidy things up - the compiler can automatically  inline static
functions (and does in many cases, especially when they only have one
callsite.)
