No, these two not right... Consider someone seeing this message will try to
grep "transfer complete stopping channel" and will fail miserable to find the
offending line. And this makes it uglier...

Also I believe checkpatch has this check, don't you run that before sending
patches?

Quoting CodingStyle:

                Chapter 2: Breaking long lines and strings

Coding style is all about readability and maintainability using commonly
available tools.

The limit on the length of lines is 80 columns and this is a strongly
preferred limit.

Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks, unless
exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does not hide
information. Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and
are placed substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers
with a long argument list. However, never break user-visible strings such as
printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them.
