I am afraid I can send you neither my eyes nor my gray matter. Loaning
the use of them is another matter, but you've had them at least
semi-engaged for some time now. :)

could be made simpler and more readable.

So the person who adds more code can change to a goto at that time --
meanwhile, the code will be more readable.

Is the wrapping on the printk not just butt-ugly to you? If it can be
easily avoided by removing some indent, why wouldn't you want to?

These are small points, to be sure.
