[PATCH] docs: dt-bindings: Document preferred line wrapping

[PATCH] docs: dt-bindings: Document preferred line wrapping

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

There are some patches with long lines as a result of checkpatch
enforcing 100, not 80, but checkpatch is only a tool not a coding style.
The Linux Kernel Coding Style is still clear here on preferred limit.
Mentioned preferred style of wrapping long lines in DTS, based on Linux
Kernel Coding Style.
