Hi Joe, I tried to be consistent with the comments before, that requested that we will use dev_err exclude some special cases for use netif. We will replace the dev_err(&netdev->dev,.. to netdev_err in the next fix.
netdev_err() should be used when possible. You just have to be careful in the probe() function, before netdev exists and you get "(NULL net_device):" or before it is registered and you get "(unnamed net_device)" instead of "eth42" etc. Andrew
