drm/TODO: Clarify DRM_DEV_* conversion 

Not everyone agrees this is the best thing, so make it really clear
that maintainers need to be asked first, then the conversion. We've
had a few newbies that did this the other way round, got their patches
rejected, which isn't the best newbie experience.

@ -179,6 +179,10 @@ don't do this, drivers used dev_info/warn/err to make this differentiation. We
now have DRM_DEV_* variants of the drm print macros, so we can start to convert
those drivers back to using drm-formwatted specific log messages.
Before you start this conversion please contact the relevant maintainers to make
sure your work will be merged - not everyone agrees that the DRM dmesg macros
are better.
Contact: Sean Paul, Maintainer of the driver you plan to convert
