CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole rule

2007-10-17T15:42:55+00:00

I would suggest this change to make CodingStyle properly reflect the style
used by the kernel, rather than the current wording which is wishful
thinking and misleading, and comes from the same school of thought that
gets off on prescriptive grammar, latin and comp.std.c

I recently received a patch including a file that had a vim modeline,
and I realized that nothing specifically proscribed that practice.

Fix chapter reference in CodingStyle

2007-05-08T18:15:13+00:00

commit 226a6b84aaaf1fac7a5d41cf4e7387fd9ba895d5 renumbered Chapter 11 in
Documentation/CodingStyle to Chapter 12, but it didn't update the reference
to that chapter further down in the file.  This patch corrects the chapter
reference.
