Why not use dev_fmt directly? But even better, is there any practical
reason why this couldn't be fixed at the source by indirecting
dev_err_probe() through a macro wrapper just like all its friends:
#define dev_err_probe(dev, err, fmt, ...) \
_dev_err_probe(dev, err, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
?
Thanks,
Robin.
