It takes the dev pointer, and is indeed told to be deprecated in favour of drm_info() in the comments (see line 394). DRM_INFO is a separate macro for printing stuff, and does not take the dev pointer. They seem to be early wrappers for printk, I guess when pr_info did not exist. And all they do different from pr_info is to add DRM_NAME (which seems to be just "drm") in front of the string. Thanks, Siddh
