s/missing/mixing/

I often request that logging is consistent - so I recognize the
argument.

For panel/* I have not made up my mind what I think is the best
approach. The DRM_DEV_* and DRM_* logging do not add much value.
So I have been tempted several times to convert all logging in
panel/ to dev_* and pr_* (when no struct device * is available).
That would also avoid that we mix up logging.

We have drm_* logging - but they require a valid drm_device * which we
do not have in the the panel drivers. So they are ruled out here.

Do you have any opinions/comments on this?
