Hi guys!! :)
First of all - I would like to thank both of you for your interest and time in
my patches.

I agree with Joe's point of view, completely. The Coding style document tries
to leverage on the developer's good sense, even when defining some rules.
Apart from that - checkpatch.po informed me about those very long lines, but I
decided to leave them as they are due to the fact that they would look even
more horrible than they look now. My braille display is 80-chars long (at
least, the one I use normally), so I understand very well the problem of not
passing that limit. Even so, the coding style says you might do so if you think
the code is more readable this way, and that's why.
My git usage is very bad as you may have observed (and I'm working on improving
myself of course), but this was something I took into consideration.
I remember when this cameto discussion:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/17/229
still I know perfectly that one of the line you're blaming is indeed 139
characters.
I understand and appreciate the fact that we _shouldn't_ take as reference
worst cases (but only bbetter cases) to improve our practice & life, but in
various drivers you can find examples like those.
Is this still a problem?

I will re-work the code and send the patch again as soon as I can.

thank you again!
