Hi David,
This seems like a bad approach. This can make the print in the kernel logs and the code both look pretty awful. I would prefer to have each error that occurred have it's own print line in the logs rather than introduce this code for the sole purpose of keeping the list on a single print line. I don't see any real downside to having a few additional print lines in error scenarios.
Thanks, Tyler
