Hi Gustavo.  A couple of trivial comments.

You could just as well remove the #if 0 blocks

It's good to preface with KERN_, but better might be to use
	#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
and strip the "dt2801: " intro and use
	pr_<level>("%s(): composite-error, ignoring\n", __func__)

It's a bit shorter, always gets the appropriate prefix, and
would emit the proper function name if ever refactored.

cheers, Joe
