Agreed.

Hii,
	The problem with WARN_* macros is that they are used without any
drm device context. For example [this use here](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c#n1667) in drm_edid.c,
doesn't have a drm device context and only has one argument (namely !raw_edid).
There are many more such use cases.

And also there were cases where dev_* logging functions didn't have any
drm_device context.

I would be very glad, if we came up with a possible solution to this
problem. I think we should develop drm_* logging APIs which could print
contextless logs (which would possibly be midlyering) or give every situation a context.

I totally agree with you. I will remember this next time.

But here, in this patchset I have tried to convert all possible
cases of conversion, i.e. I have changed logging wherever there was a
drm_device context.

Thanks.
