+			" (%x, %x) failed.\n",

 }


Specifically the check on mdev->registered

Unfortunately the previous commit was completely corrupted by whitespace
everywhere so the patch essentially covers the whole dirver (I had a
choice of submitting broken code with whitespace removed or working code
with whitespace removed)
