I am (mostly) a newcommer. Could you please tell me if there is anything
wrong with this patch? Thank you!

checkpatch reports a warning in line 387:
"WARNING: line length of 135 exceeds 100 columns"
Should I fix the warning in the same patch, or should I send a second
patch to fix it?

Hi Santiago,

it could be two patches or one. You are only allowed to do one thing at a time. So it is also a little depending on your description. The way you describe this it is more like two patches.
If your description would be like:

Insert line break to comment, that exceeds 100 columns, to improve readability.

It would be OK to correct the indent as well.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change history. Description from Dan under:

In case of questions feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
