I could have I suppose; I thought it makes it a bit easier
to read as above (though it did generate a checkpatch
warning; I thought readability was more important in this   
case, but I can alter if needed).

Sure! There were also some other line-too-long warnings
generated as a result of this patch, but when I fixed those
checkpatch complained about splitting strings across multiple
lines.  The only way out was to reduce the amount of information
in the log messages, which I didn't want to do.  In future I can
note checkpatch warnings that I couldn't find a way to fix in the
commit message if that would help?

Thanks for taking a look!
