Yes, code should be less than 80 characters wide.
But hey, sometimes it's just more readable to have one line that is
slightly longer than it should be, than to split something that is awkward
to split.

could you speak to the specific case of function signatures ?
I saw nothing in CodingStyle specifically about this.
(I skimmed, and grepped for signature)
forex:
static ssize_t
store_fan_div (struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *devattr,
const char *buf, size_t count)
{...}
IIRC, many like the entire sig on one line, because its grep friendly.
I personally like the above, but grep-ability is hard to argue against.
The above has 2 violations (of strict-grep-ability rule)
1 - return sig is separate
2 - arg-list is split
