This series is a part of the conversion to the new struct drm_device based logging macros in drm/i915. This series focuses on the drm/i915/gem directory and converts all straightforward instances of the printk based logging macros to the new macros.
Overall, I'm not keen on this as it perpetuates the mistake of putting client debug message in dmesg and now gives them even more an air of being device driver debug messages. We need a mechanism by which we report the details of what a client did wrong back to that client (tracefs + context/client getparam to return an isolated debug fd is my idea).
Sean is working on that, but it's a global thing still.
Go look at how I suggest we can use tracefs in that thread :) -Chris
