Hi,

I came across a "Starter" task listed on the DRM TODO list [1], which
suggests converting logging in DRM drivers from dev_*() macros (like
dev_info(), dev_err(), etc.) to the newer drm_*() variants that take a
struct drm_device * parameter.

The rationale is to improve per-device logging clarity, especially for
drivers supporting multiple instances.

I’d like to work on this for the Radeon and AMDGPU DRM drivers. Before
proceeding, I wanted to confirm whether this change is welcome for these
drivers, and if there are any driver-specific considerations I should keep
in mind.

If it’s acceptable, I’ll begin preparing a patch series for review.

Thanks for your time, and looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Abinash
