Please remove it. The kernel printk messages are sentences. English language sentences end with a full stop. They are messages printed up for normal human beings to read and they should therefore be properly written. In fact you should warn if it ends with a newline without a full stop unless the next line is continuation of quoted text because that suggests a full stop has been missed out incorrectly.
