Initially I posted it with 80-characters wrap. Then I received a comment
- better to stick to the new 100, as checkpatch accepts it.

Now you write, better to go back to 80.

Maybe then someone else will write to me, better to go to 100.

And another person will reply, no, coding style still mentions 80, so
keep it at 80.

Sure guys, please first decide which one you prefer, then I will wrap it
accordingly. :)

Otherwise I will just jump from one to another depending on one person's
personal preference.

If there is no consensus among discussing people, I find this 100 line
more readable, already got review, checkpatch accepts it so if subsystem
maintainer likes it, I prefer to leave it like this.

Didn't fit into limit of 100.
