If you look at msg, it can be unterminated with newline.

Perhaps this block should be:

Sorry, but i have two stupid questions to annoy you:
Q1: If i agree with your patch, here should i to do? Acked-by tag or others or nothing to do?
Q2: In fact, i do not know how to test the patch. Only to cat /sys/bus/pci/* or something?
Thanks,
