Good point.

For the background, the old DRM_INFO/ERROR/DEBUG macros only printed a message without noting from which device it came from.

That made sense when you only had a single VGA graphics card in the system, but those days are long gone and today when we have a system with multiple graphics device we sometimes wonder where a message came from.

On the other hand if you just seek for something todo Alex and I can potentially come up with some cleanup work or maybe you could write some test cases or whatever.
