Hi Joe,

The NFC subsystem core is responsible for providing the device driver interface. It is also responsible for providing an interface to the control operations and data exchange.[]quoted
diff --git a/net/nfc/nfc.h b/net/nfc/nfc.h[]quoted
+#define NFC_INFO(fmt, arg...) printk(KERN_INFO "NFC: " fmt "\n", ## arg) +#define NFC_ERR(fmt, arg...) printk(KERN_ERR "%s: " fmt "\n", __func__, ## arg) +#define NFC_DBG(fmt, arg...) pr_debug("%s: " fmt "\n", __func__, ## arg)I think these #defines and their uses would be better lower case. #define nfc_info(etc...) #define nfc_err(etc...) #define nfc_dbg(etc...) And because these don't really take any nfc specific struct as an argument, may be better removed altogether and replaced with the pr_<level> equivalents.
it is similar to what we do in the Bluetooth subsystem, but in the end upper-case vs lower-case is a bit more personal taste. The pr_<level> ones are nice and I wished we had them all back in the days, but the NFC ones actually could take the controller as argument and then us the dev_* versions of these commands. At this stage of the project it is a bit too early to tell I guess.
I think emitting __func__ rarely adds useful information.
Depends on how you are using your debug statements. I find it really helpful since then you can keep the text detail to a minimum. Regards Marcel
