No, just drop the __func__ completely. First of all, we have a device
name, and uniqueness of the messages in the driver should guarantee
easy findings. Second, specific to _dbg() variants, with enabled
Dynamic Debug it can be chosen at run time!

I recommend going through all drivers and drop __func__ near to
dev_dbg() and pr_debug().
