A checkpatch warning like "PREFER_PR_LEVEL" can point additional possibilities 
out
for this use case.
Would you like to introduce any of the higher level logging functions instead?

Thanks for your reminder.

Would you accept that another update will be appended to the discussed patch 
series?

Does this information indicate that this printk() (or pr_err()) call
should be deleted?
