Hello Bas,

I have several objections to your patch.

It's always problematic to change code you cannot test.
At the very least, if you do coding style cleanups you should test
whether the result still compiles and generates the same code as before.

This is syntactically wrong and won't compile. You cannot have an
unescaped newline inside a string literal.

This looks strange, and not like correct coding style. Why would you
want to escape the end of line after a function argument?

This is wrong. The sizeof operator must be applied to the array
variable outbuf, not to the expression (outbuf - 1).

This cannot work. The pointer variable e gets dereferenced without
ever being initialized. The type mismatches when declaring e as
pointing to an unsigned long but comparing *e to s in one place and to
a character literal in another point make me wonder which semantics
you had in mind for e in the first place.
Also your error messages are not helpful for someone reading the log
and trying to find out what went wrong, and not very readable because
of the big stretch of whitespace you insert between the words "to" and
"unsigned". In fact I'm not even convinced it's a good idea to emit a
log message at all here.

This will not work when
- - there is no cs variable in the context where the macro is used or
- - cs->dev doesn't contain a valid device pointer or
- - the format string references additional arguments,
all of which actually occur in the driver.

You're calling kmalloc with too few arguments here.

This changes semantics. Your code will not accept the same input as
the original code, and it will emit messages of its own instead of
just returning an error code to the caller as it should.

This makes the message much less readable by inserting a long stretch
of whitespace after the comma.

In sum: NACK.
