Drivers should never call printk() as they all have access to a struct
device somewhere.  So please call dev_info() or dev_err() instead.

Patches should do one thing, not 3 things.  Care to break this up into
"one logical change per patch"?  Yes, it's a small thing, but if you had
done this already, I could have taken the other 2 patches and you would
have just had to redo one patch in this series...
