If you feel the messages have value I think the comedi core can
handle displaying them instead of having the message in every
driver.

Can you test this patch and let me know what the resulting output
is? You may need to change the dev_dbg to dev_info or something
else if you don't have the proper kernel debugging enabled.

Thanks,
Hartley

staging: comedi: have the comedi core output the driver detach message

Instead of having a "detach" message in every comedi driver, have the
comedi core output the message. Output the message using dev_dbg.

Also, change the "BUG" message from a printk format to a dev_warn
format.
