Another thing is linewrapping of output strings, to obey to the rules i have to format the string as following:

if (i2c_probe(TPS65217_CHIP_PM)) { printf("PMIC chip (0x%02x) not present! skipping" \ "further configuration.\n", TPS65217_CHIP_PM); return; }

But this makes it impossible to grep the code in case of an error.

You must combine a more complicate grep, maybe with the -A (after context) option or using a regexp. However, this is not a reason to break the rule.

Strings are the reason to break the rule and we have checkpatch patched (mostly?) to not complain. It's even true in the kernel.
