Usually the kernel people like the line length of 80 characters. There
are exceptions like for example for log messages because it makes easier
to search for it however most of the time 80 is good and whenever
possible it shall be applied.

You can read about it in the
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle document in second
