Subject: [PATCH 0/2] staging: vme_user: Replace printk's & cleanup log messages

Staging driver vme_user has a bunch of printk() calls in vme.c which
triggers checkpatch warnings. Remove all printk's and change them to
the appropriate logging mechanism i.e pr_err()/pr_warn(), or 
dev_err()/dev_warn().

Also, cleanup the messages further by using __func__ in the string 
instead of function names.

This patchset fixes all checkpatch warnings like:
 
    WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg: netdev]_err([subsystem]dev, ... then
             dev_err(dev, ... then pr_err(...  to printk(KERN_ERR ...
&
    WARNING: Prefer using '"%s...", __func__' to using 'vme_lm_get',
             this function's name, in a string

Patches must be applied in order.

  staging: vme_user: Use __func__ instead of function name
