Your error rate is _quite_ high. All of these changes are in the same function and are continuations of the initial printk. Every one of these after the first one should use KERN_CONT. _Please_ look harder before submitting these changes. Otherwise, I'm going to have to agree with Dan Carpenter. I'm sure you can do these sorts of trivial changes, but you absolutely _must_ lower your error rate, otherwise you work will be ignored and you will lose whatever reputation you might want to establish within this community.
