Not to scare people off, I would add another sentence in between:

"Using 'i915' instead of 'dev_priv' has been the preferred
practice over the past years and some effort has been spent to
replace 'dev_priv' with 'i915'. Therefore, 'dev_priv' should
almost never be used (unless it breaks some defines which are
dependent on the naming)."
