If you're going to work on it, please give a patch series and let me merge once. There is no good merit to merge a half-baked piece by piece.
Regarding the changes you've made: so far, I've merged two such patches just because it's a good exercise for newbies. You've played it and experienced it enough. So it's time to go up to a higher stage, more "real" fixes.
For example, if you are still interested in printk stuff, try to change the calls to dev_err() and co. Of course, this needs more understanding of the code you'll handle, which object is passed for which messages.
thanks,
Takashi
