Does it make sense to convert to dev_err() at some point?


I tried. It gives me

[59886.759774] iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
[59886.760452] iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.11
[59886.760540] iTCO_wdt iTCO_wdt.0.auto: Found a 9 Series TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1860)
[59886.761849] iTCO_wdt iTCO_wdt.0.auto: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0)

which I don't really like too much. Let's stick with pr_{info,err}.

Thanks,
Guenter
