I'd like to change this error message:
[    3.325837] usb 1-4: string descriptor 0 malformed (err = -61), defaulting 
to 0x0409

into an error message followed by a debug message:
[    3.324726] usb 1-4: malformed string descriptor; unknown language, 
defaulting to English
[    3.327514] usb 1-4: string descriptor 0 malformed (err = -61), defaulting 
to 0x0409

in order to communicate more information from the log itself. Are there 
any problems with this approach? Would it be better to put all the 
information on a single line? Something else?
