s/all/most/ ??

Surely there are situations where a "dev" cannot be
associated with a printk(). For example in transport
discovery before any devices are found (or after,
if none are found). LLDs often helpfully log their HBA's
firmware details prior to discovery (and may fail
before discovery).

And it is possible to write via sysfs to a driver
that has no devices attached. How does one log that?
