Just want to add some more context on pr_debug(), nothing that requires
changes on your side, but as Richard said, it's important to explain it.

pr_debug() and printk(KERN_DEBUG) are not exactly the same. pr_debug()
calls are NOPs by default unless you have enabled the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG option or defined DEBUG (either directly in the
sources or by passing -DDEBUG to gcc). This is not the case with
printk(KERN_DEBUG).

If you want to know more about dynamic debug, you can read [1].

It would be nicer with:

#define pr_fmt(fmt) DRV_NAME ": " fmt

...

and then

pr_notice("driver loaded successfully\n");

You don't need this definition anymore, it's been moved to the .c file.
Actually, if you keep it you'll hit a 'redefine' error.

Why do you redefine it here? The only file including r852.h is r852.c,
and pr_fmt() has been defined before all include directives, so when the
preprocessor reaches this point pr_fmt() already has a valid definition.

With the pr_fmt() definition modified as suggested it should be:

pr_debug(format "\n", ## __VA_ARGS__)
