Exceeding 80 column for comments does generally not improve readability.

That part of the coding standard has do to with not adding excessive
line breaks to *code*, where it can sometimes impact readability.

Yes, but that's also entirely hypothetical (and could perhaps also be
handled by adding a warning for now).

If you want to rework the quirk handling for this you should at least do
so in a separate patch as it is arguably a separate change from fixing
the current quirk detection for newer SoCs by capping the number of
groups (a minimal fix that could be backported).
