Hi Sergey,

What are the guidelines for using printk(). I recall some discussion
about not using printk(). I am seeing the following from checkpatch
script:


WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg: netdev]_level([subsystem]dev, ... then 
dev_level(dev, ... then pr_level(...  to printk(KERN_LEVEL ...
#105: FILE: include/kunit/test.h:343:
+	printk(KERN_LEVEL "\t# %s: " fmt, (test)->name, ##__VA_ARGS__)


Is there supposed to be pr_level() - I can find dev_level()

cc'ing Joe Perches for his feedback on this message recommending
pr_level() which isn't in 5.3.

thanks,
