Assuming you mean all dev_<level>() uses, me too.

I have no stong feeling about the use of pr_cont(<KERN_LEVEL>
as valuable or not. I think it's just a trivial bit that
could be somewhat useful when interleaving occurs.
A somewhat better mechanism would be to have an explicit
cookie use like:
cookie = printk_multipart_init(KERN_LEVEL, fmt, ...);
while (<condition>)
printk_multipart_cont(cookie, fmt, ...);
printk_multipark_end(cookie, fmt, ...);
And separately, there should be a pr_debug_cont or equivalent.
