Sleep is good.
There are lots of sleep deprived people here in the US today though.

It looks as if all the pr_cont uses in the code are odd and repetitive.

Perhaps it'd be sensible to add something like:

#define uvc_trace_cont(flag, fmt, ...) \
do { \
if (uvc_trace_param & (flag)) \
pr_cont(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} while (0)

and change all the uses like:

- if (uvc_trace_param & UVC_TRACE_PROBE)
- printk(KERN_CONT " <- SU %d", entity->id);
+ uvc_trace_cont(UVC_TRACE_PROBE, " <- SU %d", entity->id);
