[PATCH 1/2] checkpatch: tolerate long lines w/o spaces

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Sat Feb 03 2024 - 14:55:48 EST


checkpatch complains about long lines (>75 chars), but allows a few
exceptions:

file delta changes
filename then :
A Fixes:, link or signature tag line

Add another exception, to allow a long "word" without whitespace. The
regex allows spaces in 1st 10 chars, so it allows the following [1],
which current checkpatch carps about.
