while I think the patch is correct, I believe you should take
this opportunity to use a better printing function. I am not a
network developer, but I believe network people would prefer
netdev_dbg() at this point.

The pr_*() family is one of the most generic printing method,
useful for debug and few other situations. Other printing
functions should be preferred because the provide more context.
