Btw., a small stylistic request: please put user-visible strings into a
single line - even if it technically turns into an overlong line.

pr_err("data size is 0. Was the record command properly terminated?\n");

This 1) makes it easier for people to git grep the error text they are
seeing during usage 2) makes it easier for _developers_ to see the
messages they are outputing to users.

For example from the single-line output it's immediately visible that it
should be capitalized thusly:

pr_err("Data size is 0. Was the record command properly terminated?\n");

:-)

Thanks,

Ingo
