I think if you start above at next line, you can be in 100chars and still be in single line... dev_info(&pdev->dev, "hardware revision: %d @ 0x%x with %d physical channels and %d logical channels\n", Plus a truncated one would help too... s/revision/rev s/channels/ch etc would bring this to saner levels :) -- ~Vinod
