So before this discussion peters out because nobody wants to respond anymore, I will revert this change (and the Documentation/coding_style.md one). We cannot argue for weeks whether this was/is/should be the right thing to do or not while it already affects all submissions going in. The justification for this in the commit message was "80 chars + 2 tabs was the compromise we got in the last round of discussion", which is simply not true. The policy for bad changes is revert first, sort it out later.

I would strongly suggest to continue this discussion on the mailing list so that all coreboot developers have a chance to join in. I would also suggest to separate the issues of line length and using/forcing clang-format, because both are controversial and it gets very confusing when the discussion keeps going back and forth across both.
