Most warnings are related to lines over 80 characters. This code is a debug code. As fair as I remember debug print code shall not be break in Linux kernel for easier debugging.
Can you please point me to the respective entry in the CodingStyle file?
Note the last sentence:
Chapter 2: Breaking long lines and strings
Coding style is all about readability and maintainability using commonly available tools.
The limit on the length of lines is 80 columns and this is a strongly preferred limit.
Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks, unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does not hide information. Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and are placed substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers with a long argument list. However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them.
