Hi Joe / Andrew,

I don't know if checkpatch is built for multiline regex, but I noticed
that this new check complained about the following commit message:

...
The PCI register read checking introduced in commit fe1b806f4f71
("qla2xxx: Disable adapter when we encounter a PCI disconnect") is
...

where 'commit hash ("message")' is split on multiple lines.

Dunno if that behavior is easily fixed, but thought I would report it.

Regards,
