But replacing printk(KERN_DEBUG) with pr_debug() prevents __func__ from being printed
when FBCONDEBUG is defined. Is such change what the author of this module expects?
When someone goes and enable DEBUG for fbcon they are also able to
recognize the logging, so the printing of the function name is redundant
in this case.

There is likely limited to no use for these few logging entries, but if
they should be dropped then I expect Peilin Ye to do so as he is the
only one doing active maintenance of fbcon lately.
Sure, I will take another look at them. Also sorry for the delay in that
printk() -> dev_*() patch you suggested, overwhelmed by some other
things this week. Sometimes fbcon.c accesses dev structs in a pretty
weird way (e.g. registered_fb[con2fb_map[vc->vc_num]]->dev), I will get
back to it when I understand this better.

Thanks,
Peilin Ye
