Usually we do not break multiline messages to make it easier to grep
for them. Also it feels weird to say "if your device is ..., then
...", when we actually know which device it is. I suggest the
following:

wl1271_warning("Detected unconfigured mac address in nvs, derive from fuse instead.\n");
if (device_is_wl12xx) {
  wl1271_warning("Your device performance is not optimized.\n");
  wl1271_warning("Please use the calibrator tool to configure your device.\n");
} else {
  wl1271_warning("This default nvs file can be removed from the file system\n");
}

This one should also go into one line.
