These strings were put aside from prints to save some bytes after module load or when built-in -- they were freed after module load (__init ones) or when the driver is selected as built-in (__exit ones). The savings are negligible, but the code readability is worse by the order of magnitude. So put the strings where they belong. Note that it also used to make little sense putting const data in .data (the __exit case). While at it, switch to pr_info, pr_err, not using the KERN_INFO and _ERR directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
