I'd not split it in the middle of a name or phrase if possible. printk(KERN_INFO "S3C24xx SPI DMA driver" "(c) 2007 Nordnav Technologies AB\n"); but ... > but in my opinion that becomes more even unreadable.

Do you think it is a good idea? ... in this case pr_info("S3C24xx SPI DMA driver (c) 2007 Nordnav Technologies AB\n"); might just push it under the limit. cheers Philipp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
