This makes it a lot easier to log and debug
messages if there's more than 1 ath10k device on a
system.

Did only a quick review and test but looks good to me except one problem
in pci.c, see below. But there are some conflicts now, can you rebase
please? I hope it's not too much work to fix them.
I've rebased this in my internal tree already.
Nice :)

I'll also summarise the "meat" of the changes so that it's easier for
others to review:

-     ath10k_dbg(ATH10K_DBG_PCI, "pci probe\n");
+     dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, &pdev->dev, "pci probe\n");
But this doesn't look right. A leftover from testing, perhaps?
At this point there's no "ar" yet. The "ar" is allocated a few lines
below. If the allocation fails then there's no "ar" so dev_err() is
used explicitly in the failpath.
Ah, of course.
I think these are just 2 exceptions we can't do differently, can we?
Using dev_err() is okay, but this debug print has the problem that it's
now always printed. I see few options:

1) we create __ath10k_dbg(dev, mask, fmt, ...)

2) we move the debug print after ar is created

3) we remove the debug print entirely

I vote for 2)
