From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Subject: checkpatch: add --strict test for strings split across multiple lines

Strings split across multiple lines are commonly used as formats.  These
uncoalesced formats are hard to grep and are relatively error prone.

Suggest coalescing split strings when using --strict.
