These patches change the precedence of PNP based discovery mechanisms and update the driver's core to use dev_printk() and its constructs. As part of this patch series I wanted to remove the 'PFX' argument from ipmi_of_probe()'s dev_printk constructs as I believe it produces redundant output but I do not have a PPC platform to test against. --- v2 - I dropped the contentious attempt to remove the ACPI SPMI static table as a discovery mechanism.
