Yes, I guess a single patch is indeed OK. I have few nit-picks, though.

I think it is fine if the line is long in these cases, let's keep the
message on the same line, this split does not contribute to better
readability, quite the opposite, in my opinion.

One line:
ubi_err(ubi, "long line")

Multiple lines:
ubi_err(ubi, "long line,
        parameters)

Ditto.

Ditto. And so on, in many places.

And for consistency, places like this would be:

				ubi_err(ubi, bad compat %d",
				        vidh->compat);

Ditto for all the similar cases.

Please, in cases like this, try to pack more arguments to the second
line, and move those which do not fit there to the third line. So this
would be like:

	ubi_msg(ubi, "volume %d (\"%s\") re-sized from %d to %d LEBs",
		vol_id,	vol->name, old_reserved_pebs,
		vol->reserved_pebs);
