The patch titled
dev_printk and new-style class devices
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
dev_printk-and-new-style-class-devices.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: dev_printk and new-style class devices
From: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
As the new-style class devices (as opposed to old-style struct
class_device) are becoming more widely used, I noticed that the
dev_printk-based functions are not working properly with these. New-style
class devices have no driver nor bus, almost by definition, and as a result
dev_driver_string(), which is used as the first parameter of dev_printk,
resolves to an empty string. This causes entries like the following to
show in my logs:
i2c-2: adapter [SMBus stub driver] registered
Notice the unaesthetical leading whitespace. In order to fix this problem,
I suggest that we extend dev_driver_string to deal with new-style class
devices:
