Subject: [PATCH printk v4 2/8] console: Use BIT() macros for @flags values
Date: Thu,  5 Jan 2023 11:43:29 +0106	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230105103735.880956-3-john.ogness@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230105103735.880956-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de>

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Rather than manually calculating powers of 2, use the BIT() macros.
Also take this opportunatity to cleanup and restructure the value
comments into proper kerneldoc comments.

+ * @CON_ENABLED:	Indicates if a console is allowed to print records. If
+ *			false, the console also will not advance to later
+ *			records.
+ * @CON_BOOT:		Marks the console driver as early console driver which
+ *			is used during boot before the real driver becomes
+ *			available. It will be automatically unregistered
+ *			when the real console driver is registered unless
+ *			"keep_bootcon" parameter is used.
+ * @CON_ANYTIME:	A misnomed historical flag which tells the core code
+ *			that the legacy @console::write callback can be invoked
+ *			on a CPU which is marked OFFLINE. That is misleading as
+ *			it suggests that there is no contextual limit for
+ *			invoking the callback. The original motivation was
+ *			readiness of the per-CPU areas.
+ * @CON_BRL:		Indicates a braille device which is exempt from
+ *			receiving the printk spam for obvious reasons.
+ * @CON_EXTENDED:	The console supports the extended output format of
+ *			/dev/kmesg which requires a larger output buffer.
