[PATCH 1/2 (v2)] cxacru: Use appropriate logging for errors

2007-09-23 Thread Simon Arlott
When an error occurs, existing logging uses dbg() so the cause of a problem is hard to determine. Error conditions shouldn't only be properly reported with debugging enabled. A side effect of this change is that when an uninitialised device is started, a log message similar to the following is

cpm_dpram_addr returns physical memory of the DP RAM instead of iomapped virtual memory. As there usually is a 1:1 MMU map of the IMMR area, this is often not noticed. However, cpm_dpram_phys assumes this iomapped virtual memory and returns garbage on the 1:1 mapped memory causing CPM1 uart conso
