+From d401b23149a89fc14806dc8c347f2a85205a95cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Philip Prindeville <philipp@redfish-solutions.com>
+Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2017 18:34:04 -0600
+Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] Cleanup calls to message() containing newlines
+To: Philipp Rumpf <prumpf@mandrakesoft.com>, Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
+Cc: Philip Prindeville <philipp@redfish-solutions.com>
+
+Newlines are added automatically by logging daemons, and having
+embedded newlines can cause extra blank lines in syslog-ng,
+busybox, etc.
