I have been working to change pr_*() to dev_*(), but dgap_parse() has no
"struct device" for using dev_*(). If dgap_parse still need for this driver,
it need to take a parameter for using dev_*(), it may be "pdev" but
configuration
file doesn't need to parse in kernel at all, dgap_parse() will be removed.

So I will wait to verify by Mark about parsing configuration file.

Thanks.
