printk or pr_<level>?

[Kristofer Hallin]

1. No. Depending on what subsystem your are printing logs from you
should use different functions for logging. In the networking
subsystem netdev_dbg is suitable and so on. Otherwise pr_debug will
always work and is always preferred over printk.

2. Use pr_debug.
