Like Dan said, don't do this in a driver.  It's a driver, you almost
always have access to the device being operated on, so use the dev_*
functions.

This is a network driver, so use the netdev_* functions, which are even
better.  But never the pr_* functions, that's not ok.

Please fix up and resend.

thanks,
