even though it would be possible to locate that then from that message
would it not be prefereable to provide the infos upfront like:

	pr_err("SCU remap failed at %s:%s():%d\n",
               __FILE__, __func__, __LINE__);

if that makes sense I?ll resend - or is that considered too verbouse ?

thx!
