I'm not sure it's good idea to drop it from here. It means reader has to get
this info in a hard way.

What's prevents us to add a proper prefix to these? I don't like the idea of
them having "gpio" prefix.

Can we, please, utilize pr_fmt()?

Explicit casting in printf() means wrong specifier in 99% of cases.
