Why not:

                                pr_err("unhandled packet type %d, tid %llx 
                                       len %d\n", desc->type, req_id, bytes_recvd);
Because then the printk would be messed up?  Your final printed
string would look like:

"unhandled packet type %d, tid %llx 
                                       len %d\n"

Don't break strings up across lines because it breaks grep.  If K. Y.
wants to put all the parameters on one line instead of three that
would probably be better, but in the end who cares?
Right, so I obviously "fat fingered" that and should have read my email 
once more before sending. *But* the point really was just the "put all the 
parameters on one line rather than 3" bit...

As for who cares; well, I cared enough to actually read the patch and send 
a reply, and I thought we needed more reviewers... When I review something 
I comment on everything I spot from bugs to trivial stuff - then it is 
up to the recipient to pick the things they want to address from the 
reply..
