Make USB printk messages long and straightforward. One of these
decorated USB error messages cost me some smart efforts to locate.

That would make the code break the 80 columns limit.

Too rigid an application is bad. The kernel must be greppable.

I've also been bitten by split strings when grepping kernel source code. A
cgrep that would unsplit strings before searching them would be nice :-)

Such printk will sure bite more people. And it's amazing that the CodingStyle
document uses printk as an 80-column example:
80 The limit on the length of lines is 80 columns and this is a strongly
81 preferred limit.
82
83 Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks.
84 Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and are placed
85 substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers with a long
86 argument list. Long strings are as well broken into shorter strings. The
87 only exception to this is where exceeding 80 columns significantly increases
88 readability and does not hide information.
89
90 void fun(int a, int b, int c)
91 {
92 if (condition)
93 printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning this is a long printk with "
94 "3 parameters a: %u b: %u "
95 "c: %u \n", a, b, c);
96 else
97 next_statement;
98 }

The kernel is greppable in either case. It's foolish to rigidly insist
that long strings must not be broken. And don't forget that some
strings are created dynamically (with %s specifiers, for instance).
How are you going to grep for them?
It's also worth pointing out that much of the source code in usbcore
tends to indent continuation lines by two extra tab stops. This isn't
done all the time, admittedly. But deliberately changing the code so
that continuations use only one tab stop feels like a bad idea -- one
extra tab stop looks too much like a nested statement.
