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.
