Your original comment was on the dev_err() call though (sorry, I've
complicated the discussion by using a dev_dbg() example).

Looks like only dev_dbg (and not _err/_warn/etc) has provision for
__func__, is that right?

I've since removed the __func__ references anyway, and replaced with
better context on the messages, but keen to make sure I have the correct
understanding in general.

Cheers,


Jeremy
