Hii AMD Maintainers,
I plan to convert logging of information, error and warnings
inside the AMD driver(s) to drm_* functions and macros for loggin,
as described by the TODO list in the DRM documentation[1].

I need your approval for the change before sending any patches, to make
sure that this is a good idea and that the patches will be merged.

The patches will essentially convert all the dev_info(), dev_warn(),
dev_err() and dev_err_once() to drm_info(), drm_warn(), drm_err() and
drm_err_once() respectively.

Well to be honest I would rather like see the conversion done in the other direction.

I think the drm_* functions are just an unnecessary extra layer on top of the core kernel functions and should probably be removed sooner or later because of midlayering.

Regards,
Christian.
