Done that in newer version of the patch. I also removed references to 
netdevice->name as this is populated automatically when using netdev_*
(Correct me if I'm wrong pleae)

Fascinating! I hand't come across this before. Thanks :)

What I did in this new patch was to receive an additional parameter on
the parse_subframe method so it could have access to a netdevice ref.

Do you agree with this approach or do you suggest me to address it 
differently?

Hi Greg, Hi Bjørn,

I appreciate the comments that both of you made regarding my original patch.

I implemented those suggestions, however, this time I replaced also the existing 
printk calls (with dbg lvl set) to keep it consistent.  

Please let me know if you think I should change anything else.


The original commit message follows

Checkpatch reports 'WARNING: printk() should include KERN_<LEVEL>
facility level'. Fix this by specifying a relevant KERN_<LEVEL> value
for each line in which it was missing.

Once they are fixed, checkpatch reports 'WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg:
netdev]_dbg([subsystem]dev, ... then dev_dbg(dev, ... then
pr_debug(...  to printk(KERN_DEBUG ...'. Fix this by replacing
relevant printk_<level> statements with their netdev_<level>
equivalent.
