Thank you for reviewing these patches. We will switch to using 
dma_set_...() instead

I see that pci_err evaluates to dev_err. While I see how using 
pci_* log function helps code readability, I prefer using
dev_err here to keep the code consistent with the rest of the 
driver. We'll discuss changing all log functions in future patches 
to net-next if that's okay.
