Yeah. Let's revert it.

And the way to fix the extra newline is trivial: just remove it from
the "dev_info()" format string.

Our kernel printing logic will add a newline for the next line anyway
if it is missing (unless somebody explicitly uses PR_CONT).

Can whoever saw the problem confirm that just a revert and a "remove
\n from that dev_info()" fixes the output for them?
