There are some defects in this patch:
Conversions of printk to pr_info that should be pr_cont.

I've also got some other trivial comments about it.

For each file modified, if it's not already there,
please add before any #include

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

That seems more like pr_err to me.

Also please remove embedded function names and use
"%s: ", __func__

Another more likely pr_err
Also missing a "\n" terminating newline

This should be pr_cont
