Thanks Greg for your review.
The reason I changed the error level is because these logs will be printed
when memory allocation from the specified device CMA fails, but if the
allocation fails, it will be allocated from the default cma area. It can
easily mislead developers' judgment, so I changed it to debug level.
I will not use "__func__" in the next version of this patch.

Why did you change the error level here?
And when you use pr_debug(), you NEVER need to use __func__, as it is
already included automatically in the message output. So now you have it
twice :)
