Please tweak the little things that need fixing and resubmit.

As far as I'm concerned the 80 char limit is mainly about ensuring that
the code is structured in a sensible way. Typesetting best practices
also suggest that longer lines are harder to read. So while I generally
don't strictly enforce the 80 char limit for drivers, I do push back if
I feel that readability could be improved by breaking the line or
restructuring the code.
Use your best judgment to optimize for readability.
Thanks!
