Why the macro? You only used it once.

It's used embedded in the pr_<level> functions.
It's used more than once.

The pr_xxx naming convention belongs to a kernel-wide include file. Is it 
really a good idea to start repurposing it in .c files?

It's in kernel.h, and yes, it is.

No, this is pr_err. The driver sets dev->mem_start expecting it to work, 
obviously.

I suggest you change the levels to what you desire.

You could add yourself to the MAINTAINERS entry for this file.

cheers, Joe
