Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] staging: vme_user: Replace printk's & clean up 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, clean up 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.

Changes in v2:
 1. Correct "cleanup" to "clean up" in cover letter.   (as per feedback
    from julia.lawall@...ia.fr)
 2. Patch 1: Change the pr_*() calls used to replace printk's in v1 to 
    dev_*() wherever possible, as it adds more context to the messages.
    (as per feedback from julia.lawall@...ia.fr & 
    gregkh@...uxfoundation.org)
