It doesn't make sense to do this.  KERN_ERR puts a "<3>" in front of
the line so we know how important it is, but it's a blank line
because of the "\n" at the start.

Also the should probably be using pr_err() or dev_err().

These put a "<3>" in the middle of the line which doesn't help
anyone.  Rewrite it so it's on one line.  Get rid of the OK line.

Same.
