The 'dev' field is already in use by audit, and is used to log the
device major and minor numbers, see audit_log_name() for an example.

I would suggest adopting the existing 'dev' field format, but if you
really want to log the device name as a string you will need to find
another audit field name.

You can trim hash digest strings so they better fit in terminals, for
example:

  old_policy_digest=sha256:E3B0C44....

Why make two calls to audit_log_format()?  You can just use "%s " as
the format string.

See my comments above about using the 'dev' field name, however, you
shouldn't need to log the device name as an untrusted string as the
string is coming from a trusted source within the kernel (the driver).

I don't understand why you are setting @value here only to change its
value in the line below ... ?
