I'm thinking ERROR is good. There's no reason to have it. In fact, you
must never have it. Looking at the other ERROR() conditions, I say this
is just as strong and perhaps even stronger. You have ERROR() for
trailing white space. This is much worse than that.

This isn't a 80 character limit problem. This is something that if you
add will be reverted right away, as it was for Juri's patch that added
a trace_printk() by mistake, and Boris followed it with a patch to
remove it.
