Yes, pr_info, not pr_err. Apologies for my imprecision. But the
distinction does not matter at all, since they both use pr_fmt in
exactly the same way, which is sufficient for the purposes of this
discussion.

Oh, that's good to see. In this case, I'm prefixing all of them with
zinc: instead of zinc_chacha20: (the modname), but I wouldn't object
to that changing to KBUILD_MODNAME if your patch lands. IOW, once your
patch lands, I'm happy to revisit this discussion and fall back to
using the sane defaults you're in the process of setting up for
everyone.
