The patch that added it is d357cbb445208 and you reviewed it.

Looks like a job for a newbie to get her/his feet wet with kernel work.

No,

you simply need to remove the __func__ argument in your newly added debug call:

                debugf2("%s: %d: dimm%zd (%d:%d:%d): row %d, chan %d\n", __func__,
                        i, (dimm - mci->dimms),
                        pos[0], pos[1], pos[2], row, chn);

And while you're at it, remove the rest of the __func__ arguments from
your newly added debugfX calls.
