I'll agree that grepping based on dmesg/log output can be more
difficult, but the visual benefit when looking at the code makes this
really nice.  That is why I would prefer to breakup long strings when
changing nearby code.

If spacing is incorrect it should simply be fixed -- that's not a
compelling reason to prevent splitting strings into multiple lines.
