So I've just finished reviewing the series and I've pushed it out to
my review-hans branch minus this patch and I've also dropped patch 17 as
you requested.

I've added the "event 0x%02X\n", event bit to the existing pr_info, because I agree
that printing the event is useful.

I've squashed this change into the:

"[RFC PATCH v1 23/30] platform/x86: wmi: improve debug messages"

patch since that was making the same change for the wmi_notify_debug() code.

If you want to send out a follow-up patch/series on top of my current review-hans
switching to dev_info(), then that would be a welcome improvement, but in that
case please replace all pr_info() calls with dev_info(), not just this one.

Regards,

Hans
