Blind adherence to 80 column limits leads to poor looking
code. Especially with longish identifier lengths.

Another way to do this, which is not necessarily actually
better is to position the left side of the assignment on a
separate line like:

connection =
gb_connection_create(gbphy_dev->bundle,
le16_to_cpu(gbphy_dev->cport_desc->id),

Is that better? <shrug> I prefer the original.
It was better before as it was aligned to open parenthesis.
