The idea was to make it clear which driver printed the message. In my
opinion, this is a problem:

> drivers/net/can/usb$ git grep "No memory left for USB buffer"
> ems_usb.c: netdev_err(netdev, "No memory left for USB buffer\n");
> ems_usb.c: netdev_err(netdev, "No memory left for USB buffer\n");

> usb_8dev.c: netdev_err(netdev, "No memory left for USB buffer\n");
> usb_8dev.c: netdev_err(netdev, "No memory left for USB buffer\n");

But I'm open to other suggestions (use a fixed "ucan: " prefix?) or to
drop it entirely if you think it is not worth it.

Thanks for the feedback,
Jakob
