I'd say that the two spaces after the ":" are not OK.  You should be
able to fix it by removing the leading space at the beginning of the
next message.  However, I think that calling aprint_normal_dev with an
empty message is unusual, the usual way would be to wait until you have
more information, and then do

    aprint_normal_dev("io %#x-%#x", first_port, last_port);
