Instead of just indicating that the report descriptor dump begins with
the above print, I think it makes more sense for the print to be changed
to a pair of begin/end or "cut here" prints similar to what you see in
oops messages. This will help individuals reading reports copied by bug
reporters validate that the complete descriptor dump is present.

Something along the lines of what is done in sound/soc/sof/debug.c.
