Hi !

i found there was a patch from tilmann schmidt at 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=114185850406627&w=2 some longer time ago.
it was rejected for the reason that that it was patching deprecated code and 
instead dev_dbg(), dev_info(), and dev_err() should better be used.

unfortunately, i have few programming skills and would probably fail to succeed 
on porting this appropriately - if it was trivial somebody may have already 
done this.

i can understand to some degree that getting rid of deprecated code is  good 
thing, but since this patch is very small and unintrusive i think it`s an 
"better than nothing" approach.

i`d like to give my vote for it.

regards
roland
