[RFC] Plan to convert drm/tiny/bochs to drm_* logging

[RFC] Plan to convert drm/tiny/bochs to drm_* logging

[Leander Kieweg]

From: [Leander Kieweg] <kieweg.leander@gmail.com>

Hello,

I am a new contributor looking to get started with kernel development. I found the "Convert logging to drm_* functions" task on the gpu/todo.html list.
The task description advises contacting the relevant maintainers before starting the work to ensure a patch would be welcome.
After setting up a build and test environment, I've identified the drm/tiny/bochs driver as a good, self-contained candidate for this conversion.
Would a patch to convert the remaining legacy logging calls in this driver to their modern drm_* equivalents be welcome?
Thank you for your time,

Leander Kieweg

I've not looked into the driver what's left to do, but sure, go ahead.

Best regards
