Can you really remove the driver prefix?

As the pr format is defined as

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

it will include the module name for free.

  	if (reg1 != 0xa1) { /*I/O error */
-		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "I/O error!!!");
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "I/O error!!!\n");

Those exclamation marks are just redundant noise.

Written down for the next round ;)

-		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "unable request memory size %x\n",
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Unable request memory size %x\n",
[...]
-		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no supported video mode found\n");
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No supported video mode found\n");
[...]
-		dev_info(&pdev->dev, "added MTRR\n");
+		dev_info(&pdev->dev, "Added MTRR\n");
[...]
-		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "video BIOS not available\n");
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Video BIOS not available\n");
[...]
-	dev_err(&pdev->dev, "video BIOS corrupted\n");
+	dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Video BIOS corrupted\n");

What is the improvement?

Capitalizing the first letter, just to keep coherency. It's not the most important change in the world, but it's nice :)

Regards!
