Subject: [PATCH 1/2] clkdev: improve ID length error message

From: Matthias Schiffer <matthias.schiffer@...group.com>

"is greater than X" is very unclear if you're not familiar with the
code. Change the wording to "is longer than X bytes". In addition, add a
space between device and connection ID to make it easier to determine
which part of the ID is responsible for the length.
