Formatting comments mostly same as previous patches, so I'll stop repeating them.

Definitely don't force alignment in local parameter definitions.
Always goes wrong and makes for unreadable mess in patches!

Fine to fail but worth a error message? Not sure on convention on this but seems noisy
and maybe in userspace control which isn't good.

pr_debug() Kernel log is too noisy anyway! + I'd assume we can tell this succeeded
