Investigating these issues, I see 4 of the following messages:

WARNING: line length of 84 exceeds 80 columns

This implies that checkpatch.pl is being called with
`--max-line-length=80` parameter, or, the system is using an older
version, before bdc48fa11e46f ("checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate
80-column warning").

Since I am not familiar with patchwork.hopto.org, I am not sure what is
the case. Do you know how can I find out?

Thanks!
