checkpatch: more comprehensive split strings warning
The current checkpatch test for split strings does not find several cases that should be found. For instance: /* Else poor success; go back to mode in "active" table */ } else { IWL_DEBUG_RATE(mvm, - "LQ: GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE suc=%d cur-tpt=%d old-tpt=%d\n", + "GOING BACK TO THE OLD TABLE: SR %d " + "cur-tpt %d old-tpt %d\n", window->success_ratio, window->average_tpt, lq_sta->last_tpt); does not currently emit a warning. Improve the test to find these cases. Add more exceptions to reduce false positives for assembly and octal/hex string constants.
