      drm/print: Add deprecation notes to DRM_...() functions · 30658985
      Douglas Anderson authored
      It's hard for someone (like me) who's not following closely to know
      what the suggested best practices are for error printing in DRM
      drivers. Add some hints to the header file.
      
      In general, my understanding is that:
      * When possible we should be using a `struct drm_device` for logging
        and recent patches have tried to make it more possible to access a
        relevant `struct drm_device` in more places.
      * For most cases when we don't have a `struct drm_device`, we no
        longer bother with DRM-specific wrappers on the dev_...() functions
        or pr_...() functions and just encourage drivers to use the normal
        functions.
      * For debug-level functions where we might want filtering based on a
        category we'll still have DRM-specific wrappers, but we'll only
        support passing a `struct drm_device`, not a `struct
        device`. Presumably most of the cases where we want the filtering
        are messages that happen while the system is in a normal running
        state (AKA not during probe time) and we should have a `struct
        drm_device` then. If we absolutely can't get a `struct drm_device`
        then these functions begrudgingly accept NULL for the `struct
        drm_device` and hopefully the awkwardness of having to manually pass
        NULL will keep people from doing this unless absolutely necessary.
