    firmware: simplify dev_*() print messages for generic helpers · ed04630b
    Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
    Simplify a few of the *generic* shared dev_warn() and dev_dbg()
    print messages for three reasons:
    
    0) Historically firmware_class code was added to help
       get device driver firmware binaries but these days
       request_firmware*() helpers are being repurposed for
       general *system data* needed by the kernel.
    
    1) This will also help generalize shared code as much as possible
       later in the future in consideration for a new extensible firmware
       API which will enable to separate usermode helper code out as much
       as possible.
    
    2) Kees Cook pointed out the the prints already have the device
       associated as dev_*() helpers are used, that should help identify
       the user and case in which the helpers are used. That should provide
       enough context and simplifies the messages further.
    
    v4: generalize debug/warn messages even further as suggested by
        Kees Cook.
