I cloned https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git and ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --codespell --patch <patchname> is not showing these errors/warnings.
Could you please help in understanding why this restriction is removed in checkpatch.pl and kept in patchwork script ?.
Is it mandatory to fix these ? ASFAIK, 80 lines restriction is old one when screen size were small.
