As Johannes already mentioned, I have to also ask why do you need to do
this? I see the point, slightly, with the wl1251 code, because it is
still using printks, but with wlcore and friends, there's no functional
change.

As mentioned above, this change here is acceptable, but removing the \n
from the macro and adding it at the end of each and every call is
useless and will just skew git-blame and make it harder to do rebase or
apply patches because of conflicts.

Using pr_warn instead of pr_warning is pointless.  pr_warning is the
main definition, actually, and pr_warn is just a "mirror".

Again, moving the \n from the macro definition and changing all the
callers is an unnecessary, intrusive change.

We have wanted to change "wl1271" to "wl12xx" for a long time, but we
don't do it exactly because this means we need to change the calls
everywhere.

So, this is a NACK from me, unless you have a really good reason why
this change is needed.
