Hi Arjan,

Thanks.
I will check pr_debug() and family of APIs
For dev(), it must do more changes and isn't the main purpose of this patch.
This will be next patch.

actually that's a way oversimplification. there is a per device field that 
tools can enable to hide/enabling messages on a per device basis.
it also provides a standardized format to that tools can filter messages coming 
from a device.

then use pr_debug() and family of APIs
but really you can get to a dev() normally...
