A couple of options for comedi:
1: Use #define pr_fmt(fmt) "comedi: " fmt
pr_<level>(format, ...)
2: Create some comedi logging functions or macros like:
comedi_<level>(fmt, arg...) (ie: comedi_info, comedi_err, etc)
where "comedi:" is always prefixed and an
optional #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
could be used.
That'd shorten line lengths quite a bit and add
some better standardization to comedi.
