It'll be easier for Jesse if you include the proper changelog again
with just a 1-2 line sample of the changed messages.  BTW, the "--"
before your sig confused my mailer into not quoting the patch itself,
hence the screwed up formatting below.

dev_info() is exactly equivalent to dev_printk(KERN_INFO).  I usually
use dev_info(), though I'm a bit ambivalent because it's nice to be
able to grep for "printk".  Anyway, maybe you can correct the grammar
of "enabled forcedly" to something like "you can enable with ..." when
you re-post with the changelog.

(Note that dev_dbg() is NOT exactly equivalent to dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG),
so you can't change all of them.  dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG) is always
compiled in, while dev_dbg() is only compiled in when "DEBUG" is defined.)
