This is a pretty odd way of silencing checkpatch
by eliminating content.  Aren't the register values
useful information?

You've also removed the terminating newline.
It's necessary to avoid possible dmesg output log
message interleaving.  Please put it back.

A more normal style fix would be to coalesce the
format.  checkpatch will ignore lines exceeding
80 columns for these formats.

	dev_dbg(i2c->adap.dev.parent, "%s entry, bytes in fifo: %d, msg: %d, SR: 0x%x, CR: 0x%x\n",
		__func__, bytes_in_fifo, xiic_rx_space(i2c),
		xiic_getreg8(i2c, XIIC_SR_REG_OFFSET),
		xiic_getreg8(i2c, XIIC_CR_REG_OFFSET));

This passes checkpatch cleanly.

etc...
