Why do we have empty parentheses? I would expect either something there, or no
parentheses at all.

Can you utilize --cc parameter next time and avoid polluting commit message
with this? We have archives where anybody can check this (and usually maintainers
add a Link tag for that purpose).

No space before ( ?

It's too long, can we make it shorten?

This should be check for the entire function.

Hmm... I see it's already done like this above, but {}  would suffice, why not
to convert the rest first to the {} and use it here?

I would split this to a separate change, but it's up to PRINTK maintainers.
