Subject: no printk output in dmesg

Hi

In "stmmac_main.c", in function "stmmac_dvr_probe", after probing is 
done and "ret = register_netdev(ndev);" is successfully executed I try this

netdev_info(priv->dev, "%s:%d", __func__, __LINE__);
netdev_alert(priv->dev, "%s:%d", __func__, __LINE__);
printk(KERN_ALERT "%s : %d", __func__, __LINE__);

But in kernel buffer there is no messages from these 3 function calls

Any suggestions how to make printing work and why these are skipped ?
