Convenience functions
---------------------
A number of convenience functions are available to shorten the code needed
for logging:
log_err(_fmt...)
log_warning(_fmt...)
log_notice(_fmt...)
log_info(_fmt...)
log_debug(_fmt...)
log_content(_fmt...)
log_io(_fmt...)
With these the log level is implicit in the name. The category is set by
LOG_CATEGORY, which you can only define once per file, above all #includes:
#define LOG_CATEGORY LOGC_ALLOC
or
#define LOG_CATEGORY UCLASS_SPI
Remember that all uclasses IDs are log categories too.
