I don't see any significant issue with this change.
Using generic mechanisms is good.
Few trivial nits:
I'd remove the trailing periods from some of the messages
at the same time.
Function tracing is better done by the function tracing
mechanism built in to the kernel. Removing the
dev_dbg(dev, "%s: enter\n", __func__)
lines would be good too.
Maybe look at the message levels of more of these
logging messages and determine which are actually
useful and what is mostly noise and should be dev_dbg
or deleted altogether.

dev_err(mdev->dev, "get memory resource failed\n");
etc... because of:

Mixed use of messages with/without periods.

This isn't really a useful message so I'd convert it
to dev_dbg

Same with a lot of these...
Maybe in a separate patch.
