Do I have to break the error string so that the line does not exceed 80 characters ?
Checkpath script does not complain about it, and the CodingStyle file specify that visible
strings should not be broken...

Same question applies to this error, which I converted to a multi-line error in a previous patch version:

		dev_err(chip->dev,
			"failed to configure period_ns:\n"
			"the other PWM device in this group is already\n"
			"configured with a different period_ns value\n");
