1 - This specific code block has been around for quite=C2=A0so= me time and many additions using the correct printk(KERN_* were made after = it was written. Does that mean that this code block is an exception and sho= uld be left as-is for some technical reason? Or, people have somehow forgot= ten about it and I finally found something to do? :)

2 - I took a look at the https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS=C2=A0list and their respective folders/repos and couldn't find out wh= o would be the person who I should=C2=A0eventually send the patches to. Is= there any "fallthrough" maintainer when there isn't one spec= ified? (Please put me straight if I'm not seeing things from the right = angle)
