Sorry, I had an incorrect return address config in alpine. . .

What else needs to be done to the sep driver in order for it to be moved 
to the kernel from staging?

Thanks

1.  It's usually better for loops like this to have some hw-independent escape,
like a timeout or iteration counter exit.

static inline void sep_wait_sram_write(struct sep_device *dev)
{
	u32 reg_val;
	do {
		reg_val = sep_read_reg(dev, HW_SRAM_DATA_READY_REG_ADDR);
	} while (!(reg_val & 1));
}


2.  Update Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt based on sep_driver_api.h.


and apply the following cleanup patch (I have not looked at sep_driver.c yet).

Maybe a patch from you to move it?
It seems pretty clean to me.
Are you going to keep all the _dbg statements?

You might add a Kconfig CONFIG_SEP_DEBUG block with a
Makefile entry of:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_SEP_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
to specifically enable DEBUG without dynamic debug.

Here's a Kconfig typo fix and a suggestion to rename the
uses of dev_dbg and dev_warn to sep_<level> to make the
code a bit shorter and more compact.

I agree with both Randy's and Joe's patches. Do I need to submit them 
myself in order for them to be put into what is in staging?

Ick, no, never use your own macros, just use the "real" things like is
done in this driver.  If it's a pain to get to that pointer, then use a
temporary variable in the code and then use it.

Otherwise, no, I don't like this patch at all, sorry.

thanks,

I think you're simply incorrect here.

There are lots of other uses like netdev_<foo>
where <foo>_<level> takes a particular pointer type.

This is a structure that contains a pointer to
another structure than contains a struct device.

You might also look at the macros the USB subsystem
uses for message logging.

Hey, aren't you the USB maintainer?

Yes, and over time we have been moving away from using those macros.  I
don't like seeing every individual driver have its own way of handling
debug macros, that's crazy.

For larger stuff like networking, yes, they can do that, and that's
fine.  They also were doing this before the dev_* macros came along,
just like USB did, so there is historical precident there.

But again, not for a new driver, don't redefine the existing macros just
because you don't like typing a few extra characters...

I added netdev_<level> and netif_<level>.

You are not the driver maintainer and those decisions
are driver maintainer decisions not yours.

Check this out:

$ grep -rP -oh --include=*.[ch] \
	"\b[a-z]+_(dbg|alert|crit|emerg|notice|warn|err|info)\b\s*\(" drivers | \
  sed -e 's/(//g' -r -e 's/\s*//g' | \
  sort | uniq | wc -l
266

Most all of those are different logging forms.

So, not crazy, just not your preference.

I've put in some effort trying to standardize logging
messages and mechanisms as well, and I think

	<prefix>_<level>(struct *, fmt, ..._

is a perfectly good and understandable style.

I do not suggest using some arbitrary prefix just for the
sake of it, only when there is a specific structure that
can be used.

cheers, Joe

==================================

I am adding Alan Cox, Mark Gross, and Bruce Beare into the discussion.

I will not do anything to change the logging in this driver until I get
better clarification from Mark, Alan, and Bruce as well as Greg.

I think the logging is a distraction. Everyone is I think happy with the
other minor tidying and the move from staging ? If so lets just get it
moved while Greg and Joe throw buns at each other 8)

For the record IMHO custom _dbg wrappers are usually not justified but I
think I agree with Joe on this one because we have some many
&foo->bar->baz it eliminates.

Anyway - that can wait.

I think the logging is a distraction. Everyone is I think happy with the
other minor tidying and the move from staging ? If so lets just get it
moved while Greg and Joe throw buns at each other 8)

For the record IMHO custom _dbg wrappers are usually not justified but I
think I agree with Joe on this one because we have some many
&foo->bar->baz it eliminates.

Anyway - that can wait.

==============================================

I have no problem with Alan's suggestion, however, I think I need to wait
until Greg integrates two patches that are already in the queue; one that I 
submitted yesterday (for device version detection) and the clean-up patch.

Once I see these in the staging, then I plan to try to move to the misc
directory under drivers.

Some things at first glance:
	- you have a lot of ioctls, do you really need them all?
	- your ioctls use structures with very "generic" names, please
	  prefix them with "sep_" as you are joining the global
	  namespace here.
	- sep_driver_api.h seems to have a lot of information in it that
	  doesn't need to be there (i.e. move it to a private .h file.)
	- is there documentation for how to use this device through the
	  ioctls anywhere?
	- are you sure your ioctl magic number isn't already reserved by
	  some other driver?
	- the structures you use for the ioctls, shouldn't they use the
	  correct "__" prefixes on their type?  How about 64/32 bit
	  thunking layer, isn't that needed?
	- you have a number of basic checkpatch formatting issues to fix
	  up, please do so.
	- do you really even need all of the .h files you have?  Can't
	  they just go into the .c file?
	- sep_wait_sram_write() has no way to abort, if the hardware
	  hangs, you just locked up your kernel :(

that's good for a first round of review, right?

thanks,
