Re: [PATCH 1/9] staging: sm750fb: fix line length coding style issue in ddk750_chip.c

From: moshe green

There were (mostly) two kinds of warnings that I've handled, "80
character line length" and block comments structure.
Some of the changes involve handling two separate warnings in a single comment.
Where this occurs, should I break down the change into two steps -
fixing a warning at a time?
Or should I fix both warnings in the same commit - and place the
commit in the most appropriate patch?
thanks
