[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] checkpatch: re-enable warnings about split long strings

[Stephen Hemminger]

The Linux kernel style policy about strings is that strings should
be always put on one line. This makes sense since a typical use
case is for a user to type the error message into a search engine
or grep, and it won't be found if split across lines.
This patch just re-enables that check.

Yes, lots of DPDK code now splits strings, that doesn't
make it right.
