Why not just "firewireX: " ?

Adding code for the "%s:...", KBUILD_MODNAME rarely saves
overall space.  Did you try embedding KBUILD_MODNAME
without the "%s: " and comparing the size?

Perhaps just add pr_fmt and pr_<level>?

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt 	/* (if really necessary) */

and

#define fwnet_notice(net, fmt, ...)		\
	pr_notice("%s: " fmt, (net)->name, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define fwnet_err(net, fmt, ...)		\
	pr_err("%s: " fmt, (net)->name, ##__VA_ARGS__)
