If you are going to use pr_* functions, it's usually a good idea to
define pr_fmt in a consistant way so that it shows up the same across
all of your .c files. See other drivers for examples of how to do this
properly.

You don't free and unwind things properly if things go wrong here, why
not?

Really? You need this message still?

Same here, is this really needed?
