This still isn't correct. The initial printk (KERN_INFO above) has
no trailing newline. Here you are almost doing it correctly, except
that you are adding an extra newline. This error message will look
like this:

comedi0: adv_pci1710:
comedi0: adv_pci1710: Allocation failed

Actually kmalloc() prints an message with a stack trace on failure as
well so that would go in the middle, just before the first newline.


Thanks. Didn't know that. Is that a KConfig option or by default?

Either way, it's another good reason to get rid of all the KERN_CONT stuff in the driver.
