I dropped the pr_fmt() parts of this because there's really no
benefit: we move the prefix from the actual printk() to the pr_fmt
definition, which is a little bit harder to understand for the reader,
and it makes the string harder to find, e.g., if you see "PCI: can't
add host bridge window" in the dmesg log and search for it in the
kernel source, you'll no longer find it.
I think pr_fmt does make sense if the prefix is used many times, but
for these cases, where it's only used once or twice, it doesn't seem
worthwhile.

This is an example of doing two changes at once:
1) Converting "printk(KERN_ERR)" to "pr_err()"
2) Factoring out the "PCI: " prefix with pr_fmt()
The first change is worthwhile and I pulled that out and squashed it
into your first patch.
This patch (if we were going to do it) should contain *only* the
pr_fmt() factoring. So the first patch would look like this:
- printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: can't add host bridge window %pR\n", res);
+ pr_err("PCI: can't add host bridge window %pR\n", res);
and the second patch would look like this:
+#define pr_fmt(fmt) "PCI: " fmt
- pr_err("PCI: can't add host bridge window %pR\n", res);
+ pr_err("can't add host bridge window %pR\n", res);

Here's a case where we should actually be using pci_printk() since
this message is related to a specific device.
I added a new patch before your first patch to do this:
- printk(KERN_DEBUG "PCI: CLS mismatch ..."
+ pci_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, "CLS mismatch ..."
There's a similar case in pci_create_legacy_files(), so the new patch
converts both of those.
