I always check my patches before sending. For this set the only warning I
get is:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#117: FILE: drivers/phy/broadcom/phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c:224:
+                                   usecs_to_jiffies(BCM_NS_USB3_MII_MNG_TIMEOUT_US));

I've problem finding a nice way of fixing this.
1) I can't break the line between arguments as there is only 1 argument
2) I shouldn't use small indention as it would misalign this line
3) Using tmp var for BCM_NS_USB3_MII_MNG_TIMEOUT_US sounds a bit pointless

According to the coding-style.rst having 80+ chars lines is acceptable if it
"significantly increases readability and does not hide information". Maybe
we can just live with this single line like that? Isn't this a bit bike
shedding in this case?
