All of the printk output is really just noise. The user did a rmmod to
unload the driver, we really don't need to tell them about it.
Also, some of the messages are output using:
dev_dbg(dev->hw_dev, ...
or
dev_info(dev->hw_dev, ...
Unfortunately the hw_dev value is only used by drivers that are doing
DMA. For most drivers this variable is going to be NULL so the output
is not going to work as expected.
They don't crash and still produce kernel logs, but replaces the device
class and device name in the log entry with "(NULL device *)" or
something like that.
Sorry about that, I probably caused a lot of that. As no one ever
complained, odds are no one is using those drivers :)
Most of them seem to have from Ravishankar Karkala Mallikarjunayya.
