One could easily use the compiler to detect if drm_printf or drm_puts
should be used. See the trace_printk define in include/linux/kernel.h.

I would imagine that updating the other two and dropping the
drm_printf() fallback is a good move.

Otherwise one could easily assume that they have a fast path when they do not.
