Replace printing to magically sized temporal buffer with use of KERN_CONT for continual printing of eeprom registers dump. Since deb_info is defined as dprintk, which is defined as printk without additional parameters, meaning that deb_info is equivalent to direct printk (without KERN_ facility), we can use KERN_DEBUG and KERN_CONT in there, eliminating the need for sprintf into temporal buffer with not easily readable/magical size. Though it's strange, that deb_info definition uses printk without KERN_ facility and callers don't use it either. Signed-off-by: Jan Nikitenko <jan.nikitenko@xxxxxxxxx> --- (added missing Singned-off) I do not see better solution for the magical sized buffer, since print_hex_dump like functions need dump of registers in memory (so the magical sized temporal buffer would be needed for a copy anyway). If deb_info was defined with inside KERN_ facility, then this patch would not be valid and so the magically sized temporal buffer might be acceptable to keep there.
