Hi Greg.

Unfortunately, currently checkpatch will complain about
this sort of line because the format string is not on the
same line as the printk.

This line should become something like:

		pr_err(" this driver does not support pcmcia cards, use ni_labpc_cs\n");
or
		comedi_err(etc...);

if ever the comedi_<level> printk helper macros are accepted.
