as pr_* macros are more preffered over printk, so printk replaced
with corresponding pr_* macros.

Are you simply running checkpatch on every file and decided to do
something about it? :)

i am running checkpatch on the patch generated. if i am doing checkpatch
cleanups then that i do it only in the staging.
only exception : printk .. :)

I'll let Takashi decide whether to take this or not as I no longer care
about this code, but IMHO this changes is completely pointless since you
don't also clean up the code to have a common prefix with #define pr_fmt
and then clean up the callers etc.

i mentioned in the comment that in a future patch we can have pr_fmt,
it was not done in this patch since the changes for this patch is
generated by a script and not manually.
if Takashi accepts this then the next patch will have pr_fmt.

If you're going to work on it, please give a patch series and let me
merge once.  There is no good merit to merge a half-baked piece by
piece.

Regarding the changes you've made: so far, I've merged two such
patches just because it's a good exercise for newbies.  You've played
it and experienced it enough.  So it's time to go up to a higher
stage, more "real" fixes.

For example, if you are still interested in printk stuff, try to
change the calls to dev_err() and co.  Of course, this needs more
understanding of the code you'll handle, which object is passed for
which messages.


thanks,

Takashi
