Honestly, I think that is too brief. The error message is only 74 chars
and there's a long standing exception for long lines in the kernel for
printks. Even Linus has recently suggested that keeping to the 80 char
limit is not recommended when it harms readability (though I don't
generally agree with this 100%)[1].
