Note that pr_cont() does not guarantee that the message will be appended to the
previous part. Any message printed from another CPU or interrupt
context might break the two pieces.

It is better to avoid pr_cont() when possible.

If you really want to simplify this, then I would do:

	pr_debug("notify %-15s %pOF%s%s\n",
		  action_names[action], pr->dn,
		  pr->prop ? ":" : ",
		  pr->prop ? pr->prop->name : "");

One possibility would be to create a macro for this, something like:

#define of_ce_action_print(printk_level, prefix, ce)		\
	printk(printk_level "%s cset<%p> %-15s %pOF%s%s\n"	\
		prefix, ce, action_names[action], pr->dn,	\
		  pr->prop ? ":" : ",				\
		  pr->prop ? pr->prop->name : "");

And use it like:

	of_ce_action_print(KERN_DEBUG, "changeset: applying:", ce);

But I am not sure if it is worth it. Sometimes it is better to
opencode things so that it is clear what is going on.

I would suggest to split the changes into two so that the fix is in a
separate patch. And the fix should be first so that it might be
easier for backporting.
