Need a different subject like:

[PATCH] staging: rts5208: Replace embedded function names with "%s: ", __func__

and you also require some change log like

Avoid possible defects when refactoring.

try not to change output too.

You could also drop what appear to be function tracing
style logging where the message is the equivalent of:

void func(args...)
{
	dev_dbg("%s: entered\n", __func__)
	...
}

as the generic function tracing mechanism works well.
