I can't tell exactly from the discussion whether this is the version
that got
merged into 5.7 or not, but it does match the commit message.
This got merged and there was a follow up patch to replace trace_printk() with tracepoints got merged as well. 

Thanks,

This patch introduces several trace_printk() which AFAIK is intended
for
debugging only and shouldn't make it into mainline kernels.

It causes this big message to be printed to the log too

Shouldn't this be replaced with one of pr_*() variants instead?

Thanks
