For obvious reasons, we need a real name here, and in the signed-off-by
line.

You can use all 72 columns, if you want to re-wrap these lines when you
resend.

Shouldn't 16 be the array size instead of having this hard coded to a
magic number?

Something like "sizeof(adb_handler) / sizeof(struct adb_handler)"?

Maybe not, that's messy, your choice.
