Quoting AngeloGioacchino Del Regno (2026-01-14 03:27:33)
> Function spmi_device_add() uses dev_{dbg,err}() for respectively
> debug and error prints, and passes the same device pointer as both
> the dev_{dbg,err}() parameters and to a dev_name() that is part of
> the actual message.
> This means that the device name gets printed twice!
> 
> Remove the redundant dev_name() from the messages.
