as pr_* macros are more preffered over printk, so printk replaced with corresponding pr_* macros.
Are you simply running checkpatch on every file and decided to do something about it? :)
i am running checkpatch on the patch generated. if i am doing checkpatch cleanups then that i do it only in the staging. only exception : printk .. :)
I'll let Takashi decide whether to take this or not as I no longer care about this code, but IMHO this changes is completely pointless since you don't also clean up the code to have a common prefix with #define pr_fmt and then clean up the callers etc.
i mentioned in the comment that in a future patch we can have pr_fmt, it was not done in this patch since the changes for this patch is generated by a script and not manually. if Takashi accepts this then the next patch will have pr_fmt.
If you're going to work on it, please give a patch series and let me merge once. There is no good merit to merge a half-baked piece by piece.
Regarding the changes you've made: so far, I've merged two such patches just because it's a good exercise for newbies. You've played it and experienced it enough. So it's time to go up to a higher stage, more "real" fixes.
can you please give me some hint of fixes that can be attempted by newbies. except printk :)
You should study the code at first. There is nothing you can "fix" without understanding the code. So, pick up a driver you're interested in. You may or may not find bugs there. Or, if you see / know any bug, try to join debugging.

one of my patch has alredy changed printk to pr_* in ctxfi. but that can be improved to dev_*. since this has to be done manully and not through script , so should i send the patch for one file at a time or for all of them together in a single patch?
thanks sudip
