About 3 years ago, I think the error message printed by pr_warn() can't
exceed 80 lines each line. Otherwise, scripts/checkpatch.pl will report
warnings. The error message spans multiple lines to avoid that. However,
that turned to be wrong later. If people searchs the code from the error
or warning message, it'd better to keep it in one line, not in multiple
lines. That's the reason I merged them into one line since I have to
refactor the function. At same time, the message is shortened as "Error"
is shorter than "Failure" and "registers" in original message is meaningless.
