Since you're going to have to redo the commit any way, maybe you should
put the line breaks at 72 characters.  I think you're using 65 character
line breaks, but that's only for the Subject.

This pr_warn() will be badly formatted in dmesg because of the new line
and the tabs.  I tried to add a checkpatch.pl warning for this but maybe
it only works with -f?...
