FYI 1:
Conversions of
printk(KERN_DEBUG ...)
to
pr_debug(...)
are not equivalent.
The first one is always placed into the object code
and emitted when the logging level is set appropriately.
The second one is only emitted if dynamic_debug is enabled
or if a #define DEBUG is set.
You should mention this change in the changelog.
In any case, for this code only, I think it's probably OK.
FYI 2:
There is a script that does these conversions and a few
other things: https://lwn.net/Articles/380161/
