Due to the 80-cols restrictions, and latter due to checkpatch warnings, several strings were broken into multiple lines. This is not considered a good practice anymore, as it makes harder to grep for strings at the source code. As we're right now fixing other drivers due to KERN_CONT, we need to be able to identify what printk strings don't end with a "\n". It is a way easier to detect those if we don't break long lines. So, join those continuation lines. The patch was generated via the script below, and manually adjusted if needed. </script> use Text::Tabs; while (<>) { if ($next ne "") { $c=$_; if ($c =~ /^\s+\"(.*)/) { $c2=$1; $next =~ s/\"\n$//; $n = expand($next); $funpos = index($n, '('); $pos = index($c2, '",'); if ($funpos && $pos > 0) { $s1 = substr $c2, 0, $pos + 2; $s2 = ' ' x ($funpos + 1) . substr $c2, $pos + 2; $s2 =~ s/^\s+//; $s2 = ' ' x ($funpos + 1) . $s2 if ($s2 ne ""); print unexpand("$next$s1\n"); print unexpand("$s2\n") if ($s2 ne ""); } else { print "$next$c2\n"; } $next=""; next; } else { print $next; } $next=""; } else { if (m/\"$/) { if (!m/\\n\"$/) { $next=$_; next; } } } print $_; } </script> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c b/drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c index 18e3a4deee64..a6c9fe235974 100644 --- a/drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c +++ b/drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c @@ -824,8 +824,7 @@ static int dvb_input_attach(struct ddb_input *input) &input->port->dev->pdev->dev, adapter_nr); if (ret < 0) { - printk(KERN_ERR "ddbridge: Could not register adapter." - "Check if you enabled enough adapters in dvb-core!\n"); + printk(KERN_ERR "ddbridge: Could not register adapter.Check if you enabled enough adapters in dvb-core!\n"); return ret; } input->attached = 1; @@ -1730,8 +1729,7 @@ static __init int module_init_ddbridge(void) { int ret; - printk(KERN_INFO "Digital Devices PCIE bridge driver, " - "Copyright (C) 2010-11 Digital Devices GmbH\n"); + printk(KERN_INFO "Digital Devices PCIE bridge driver, Copyright (C) 2010-11 Digital Devices GmbH\n"); ret = ddb_class_create(); if (ret < 0) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
