Like sas_printk() did previously, SAS_DPRINTK() offers little value now
that libsas logs already have the "sas" prefix through pr_fmt(fmt). So it
can be dropped.

However, after reviewing some logs in libsas, it is noticed that debug
level is too low in many instances.

So this change drops SAS_DPRINTK() and revises some logs to a more
appropriate level. However many stay at debug level, although some
are significantly promoted.

All the pre-existing checkpatch errors for spanning messages across
multiple lines are untouched.

I think coalescing would be useful.

Sorry, I missed that. Do you mean that we stop spanning strings over
multiple lines?

Yes.

If yes, I tend to agree. It means we can grep for full strings vs just a
different checkpatch issue (>80 lines or spanning multiple lines)

checkpatch does not emit a warning when a string is the
last element of a line that is > 80 chars when the
string stats before position 79.


That's nice.

Thanks
