no, your printf example still works.
Note that it actually issues 2 writes to the control-file.

FWIW, the \n approach doesnt help on the boot-line;
on mainline, the following will break the facility -
/dbg/dynamic_debug will not get created.

Kernel command line: ...  ddebug_query="module pc8736x_gpio +p \n
module nsc_gpio +p "
