[PATCH] scripts/Lindent: increase the maximum line length to 100

[PATCH] scripts/Lindent: increase the maximum line length to 100

[Zong Li]

As the patch 'bdc48fa11e46 ("checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate
80-column warning")', increase the default limit to 100 characters,
we also increase the maximum line length to 100 for indent script.

I'd prefer to delete Lindent instead.

Also any reformatting tool like this will
_always_ use up to whatever the maximum
line length is rather than use a preferred
length of 80 and and only use the allowed
maximum length of 100 when necessary for
human readability.

Yes, as you mentioned, the reformatting tool uses up to the maximum line length,
it seems to me that we don't go this patch if you plan to post the
patch to delete it,
otherwise, we could consider to change it to 100.

For reference, we discussed this for the limit in `.clang-format`, and
for the moment we will keep the limit at 80 there too.

See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610125147.2782142-1-christian.brauner@ubuntu.com/

Cheers,
Miguel

+1, especially since there is `clang-format` now.

Agree, it is often used.

You are welcome to refresh it as a lot has
changed in the 7.5 years since then.
