Sorry, could not resist.
But more seriously, I still prefer 80 chars per line, but have no problems with longer lines. Oh the other hand I do so little coreboot development, that you should not base any decision on my humble opinion.
Cu, Goetz.

:D
Like quite a few people I've encountered, I set up my text editing environment to make ≤80cpl convenient and ergonomic, because:
(a) it is such a prevalent convention; and
(b) ≤80cpl is very readable (at least, it is for me and quite a few other people; and
(c) typically, when I encounter a codebase that doesn't follow ≤80cpl, it doesn't follow *any* cpl convention and needs taking in hand.
Sticking to ≤80cpl should make it easier for anyone else, who also does that, to work with the Coreboot codebase without having to modify their text editing environment.
However...
[On] the other hand I do so little coreboot development, that you should not base any decision on my humble opinion.
Ditto ;)
