**SPLIT_STRING**
Quoted strings that appear as messages in userspace and can be
grepped, should not be split across multiple lines.
See: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20120203052727.GA15035@leaf/
**TRAILING_STATEMENTS**
Trailing statements (for example after any conditional) should be
on the next line.
