Hi,
Yes, I could have included all in a single patch, but I tried to
automatize this task and build a rather generic semantic patch in
coccinelle for the substitutions. Had I included all in one patch, the
changes with coccinelle wouldn't have been differentiated from the
other ones. If that is okay, I think I can merge them in one patch.

I thought so, also, but the string would go beyond 80 characters and
would have to be split which is ugly and brings a warning on it.

I see it more as an informing note, since the device continues looping
for data, but it could be considered an error as well.

This is more suitable for stderr, indeed.
