That is two different things, and as such, should be two different
changes, right?

Yes, it's picky, but that's what the staging driver code is for, to get
comfortable doing kernel development changes properly.

Also, are you sure this second change is correct:

__func__ is not the same here as "Function", right?  "Function" is the
functionality of the thing that is attempted here, so replacing that
word with the function name seems odd to me, don't you think?
