That is one area where checkpatch can be misleading. If you split
messages like that it becomes hard to grep for them.

Where it is useful is where you have

        printk("blah blah bah blah [120 chars]", functioncall(foo))

and it would hide things like functioncall(foo)

No argument about the comment ones however.
