I separate it, because I am afraid I will be  challenged by 80 char
column rule.

Please check the CodeStyle file and its example:

Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks.
Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and are
placed
substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers with a
long
argument list. Long strings are as well broken into shorter strings.

void fun(int a, int b, int c)
{
	if (condition)
		printk(KERN_WARNING "Warning this is a long printk with "
						"3 parameters a: %u b: %u "
						"c: %u \n", a, b, c);
	else
		next_statement;
}

If it does not matter, I'd like to put them in one line :-).
