Directly use pr_err() in set_pte_phys() and drop pte_ERROR() which helps in
eventually dropping pte_ERROR() macro across the tree. In this new printing
__FILE__ and __LINE__ has been dropped because they are always the same and
don't really add any value.

I'd avoid that helper if possible, so we don't encourage new users.

Shouldn't we just switch to pr_err() right away?

Yes we could move from printk() to pr_err(). The above helper
just prevented an ugly #ifdef block inside if(!pte_none(*pte))
conditional block, nothing more. Will just drop it then.

Maybe similar to my reply to patch #1, actually print something more useful than
just "bad pte" ? And possibly also just use ptval_to_str().

Probably #ifdef could be dropped here as ptval_to_str() should be able to
handle pte with two unsiged long elements in there i.e pte_high, pte_low
along with standard single unsiged long pte_low format.

#ifdef CONFIG_X2TLB
typedef struct { unsigned long pte_low, pte_high; } pte_t;
#define pte_val(x) \
        ((x).pte_low | ((unsigned long long)(x).pte_high << 32))
#define __pte(x) \
        ({ pte_t __pte = {(x), ((unsigned long long)(x)) >> 32}; __pte; })
#else
typedef struct { unsigned long pte_low; } pte_t;
#define pte_val(x)      ((x).pte_low)
#define __pte(x)        ((pte_t) { (x) } )
#endif

static void set_pte_phys(unsigned long addr, unsigned long phys, pgprot_t prot)
{
        pte_t *pte;

        pte = __get_pte_phys(addr);
        if (!pte_none(*pte)) {
                char str[PTVAL_STR_MAX];

                ptval_to_str(str, pte_val(*pte));
                pr_err("unexpected set PTE at %lx in set_pte_phys: bad pte %p(%s).\n",
                        addr, pte, str);
                return;
        }

        set_pte(pte, pfn_pte(phys >> PAGE_SHIFT, prot));
        local_flush_tlb_one(get_asid(), addr);

        if (pgprot_val(prot) & _PAGE_WIRED)
                tlb_wire_entry(NULL, addr, *pte);
}

But if this does not work revert back printing both pte formats separately
like before.

#ifdef CONFIG_X2TLB
               pr_err("unexpected set PTE at %lx in set_pte_phys: bad pte %p(%08lx%08lx).\n",
                       addr, pte, pte->pte_high, pte->pte_low);
#else
               char str[PTVAL_STR_MAX];

               ptval_to_str(str, pte_val(*pte));
               pr_err("unexpected set PTE at %lx in set_pte_phys: bad pte %s.\n", addr, str);
#endif
