> There are several uses of hw_dbg in the code, producing no output. This
> patch implments it using dev_debug.
> 
> Initially the intention was to implement it using netdev_dbg, analogously to
> what is done in ixgbe for instance. That approach was avoided due to some
> early usages of hw_dbg, like i40e_pf_reset, before the vsi structure
> initialization causing NULL pointer dereference during the driver probe if the
> dbg messages were turned on as soon as the module is probed.

> v2:
>  - Use dev_dbg instead of pr_debug, and take advantage of dev_name
> instead of crafting pretty much the same device name locally as suggested by
> Jakub Kicinski.
