These custom tracing macros are quite inappropriate.

We have the function tracer in the kernel when that is needed.  So spitting
out __func__ all over the place is not something that should be found in
drivers these days.

And one can modify pr_fmt do make pr_debug et al. have whatever prefix
one wants.

I suspect there will be several rounds of review to weed out things
like this.  You can preempt a lot of that by removing as much in your
driver that the kernel has existing facilities for.

Thanks.
