Go figure.

Sure. I used the all-caps version as that's what most former printk's 
used. But if you say KBUILD_MODNAME is more common then I have no issue 
with that.

OK.

Updated in my repo and pushed out.

Not necessarily on uClinux where you might not aford it.

And this patch is about converting existing printk()'s so if some of 
them should be removed then it would be best to do that separately.

Again this should probably be done separately.
