Hi,

I always appreciate to have some patches backported, but in this 
particular case, I wonder what is the rational to backport up to 4.9 
some checkpatch warning about log message?

Keeping code aligned to ease other future backport?

I thought that the rule for backport was that it needed to fix a real 
issue (and sometimes a real 'potential' issue)

I think that I brought it in as a dependency for something else, but I
don't see what it was. I'll drop it then, thanks!
