Subject: [Patch 1/1] Changes to scripts/checkpatch.pl for improving warning
 messages in case printk usage is detected in a patch

This patch modifies warning message when printk is used in a patch. It mentions to use subsystem_dbg instead of netdev_dbg as the first preffered format of logging debug messages.
