Re: [PATCH] drm: Don't split up debug output

Otherwise we risk that the 2nd part of the line ends up on a line of it's own, which means a kernel dmesg line without a log level. This then upsets the dmesg checker in piglit.

Only really happens in some of the truly nasty igt testcases which race cache dropping (through debugfs) with other gem operations.

According to Documentation/printk-formats.txt, usage of %pV is not recommended unless the format string and va_list can be properly verified for correctness.

I guess we leave it up to the compiler to do that verification using the __printf() annotation, so I think it should be fine to use it here:
