Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: Replace printk() with appropriate
 net_*macro_ratelimited()

Replace printk having a log level with the appropriate
net_*macro_ratelimited.
It's better to use actual device name as a prefix in error messages.
Indentation is also changed, to fix the  checkpatch issue.

changes in v2
*In previous version printk was changed to pr_*macro(), which is used
in kernel instead of calling printk() directly. And for drivers,
dev_*macro() or net_*macro_ratelimited() should be used for calling
printk() directly.
