Re: [PATCH] checkpatch/coding-style: Allow 100 column lines

Change the maximum allowed line length to 100 from 80.

Miscellanea:

o to avoid unnecessary whitespace changes in files,
  checkpatch will no longer emit a warning about line length
  when scanning files unless --strict is also used
o Add a bit to coding-style about alignment to open parenthesis

I suggest to convert this patch into a patch series with three update steps.
