Subject: Re: [RFC] Add PR_PREFIX to pr_xyz macros.

Subject: [PATCH] Add PR_PREFIX to pr_xyz macros.

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com>

A common reason for device drivers to implement their own printk macros
is the lack of a printk prefix with the standard pr_xyz macros. Introduce
a pr_fmt macro that is applied for every pr_xyz macro to the format string.
The most common use of the pr_fmt macro would be to add the name of the
device driver to all pr_xyz messages in a source file.
