#define psmouse_printk(level, psmouse, format, ...) \
dev_printk(level, \
&(psmouse)->ps2dev.serio->dev, \
psmouse_fmt(format), ##__VA_ARGS__)

I want to see current protocol module in th eoutput and I do not want to
write "&(psmouse)->ps2dev.serio->dev" all the time.

Message from another driver snuck in?
