Added unnecessary continuation lines to printks.

Don't add unnecessary line continuations please.
Better would be to coalesce the formats like:
				printk(KERN_WARNING "Parameter %s is obsolete, ignored\n"
				       p->str);

It would also be better and easier to review if you
broke out the whitespace only changes as a separate
patch from the other changes you make.

Oh, and please make these sorts of changes only in
the drivers/staging tree until you are _very_ familiar
with kernel style.  Don't rely on checkpatch to tell
you what to do.  It's pretty brain-dead.  checkpatch
is a patch checking tool not really a code style tool
for existing code.
