Could we have some examples pasted here, of the end result of this series, for all message "categories" (origins, macros, whatever)?

GT initialisation:
gt_err(gt, "Failed to allocate scratch page\n");
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: Failed to allocate scratch page

G2H notification handler:
guc_err(guc, "notification: Invalid length %u for deregister done\n", len);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: GuC notification: Invalid length 0 for deregister done

I'm not liking the inconsistency between gt_err and guc_err where with latter callers either need to start the message with lower case because of the unstructured "GuC " prefix added. Which then reads bad if callers do guc_err(guc, "Error X happend").

Looks like Michal was pointing out the same thing, AFAIU at least when re-reading the thread now.

Why wouldn't this work:

guc_err(guc, "Invalid length %u for deregister done notification\n", len);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: GuC: Invalid length 0 for deregister done notification

Or if the use case for adding custom prefixes is strong then maybe consider:

guc_err(guc, "notification", "Invalid length 0 for deregister done");
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: GuC notification: Invalid length 0 for deregister done

guc_err(guc, "", "Error X");
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: GuC: Error X

CTB initialisation:
ct_probe_error(ct, "Failed to control/%s CTB (%pe)\n", str_enable_disable(enable), ERR_PTR(err));
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: GuC CT Failed to control/enable CTB (EINVAL)

Okay same as above.

Random meaningless (to me) message that is apparently a display thing:
drm_dbg_kms(&dev_priv->drm, "disabling %s\n", pll->info->name);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_disable_shared_dpll [i915]] disabling PORT PLL B

Plan is to not touch outside gt/.

I'm sure you can extrapolate to all other forms of dbg, notice, info, etc. without me having to manually type each one out, given that they are all identical.

Personally, I think the above should be just:
gt_err(gt, "Failed to allocate scratch page\n");
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: Failed to allocate scratch page

gt_err(guc_to_gt(guc), "G2H: Invalid length for deregister done: %u\n", len);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: G2H: Invalid length for deregister done: 0

gt_probe_error(ct_to_gt(ct), "Failed to %s CT %d buffer (%pe)\n", str_enable_disable(enable), send ? "SEND" : "RECV", ERR_PTR(err));
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GT0: Failed to enable CT SEND buffer (EINVAL)

We could but it seems we agreed some weeks ago to consolidate the existing CT_ERROR macros and such in this exercise. At least no objections were raised to that plan.

If now we want to go back on that, and if you want to have guc_to_gt(guc) in all gt/uc/ call sites that's fine by me, but please get some acks and consensus from people who work in that area. And under that option someone would also need to convert the CT code to new macros.

drm_dbg_kms(&dev_priv->drm, "disabling %s\n", pll->info->name);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_disable_shared_dpll [i915-KMS]] disabling PORT PLL B But presumably that requires finishing the plan of splitting out the display code into a separate driver. So for now, something like this would still be a massive improvement:
kms_dbg(dev_priv, "disabling %s\n", pll->info->name);
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_disable_shared_dpll [i915]] KMS: disabling PORT PLL B
