Hi Anh,

Tags should span a single line even if they are long. This is minor
enough that I will clean it as I pick up the patch so no need to worry
about it this time. In the future, run script/checkpatch.pl on your
patches to catch these type of mistakes that are easy to miss.

I'll queue this patch for the counter-fixes branch.

Thanks,

William Breathitt Gray
