I have to disagree with that Greg. While the driver isn't in active
development, a trivial mod to make it less likely a defect is introduced
by any additional code is still a useful addition.

Read the suggested change I posted in reply.
btw: the musb_dbg function is actually a trace function and not a
dmesg/logging mechanism.
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c:void musb_dbg(struct musb *musb, const char *fmt, ...)
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c-{
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- struct va_format vaf;
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- va_list args;
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c-
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- va_start(args, fmt);
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- vaf.fmt = fmt;
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- vaf.va = &args;
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c-
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- trace_musb_log(musb, &vaf);
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c-
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c- va_end(args);
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.c-}
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h:TRACE_EVENT(musb_log,
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- TP_PROTO(struct musb *musb, struct va_format *vaf),
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- TP_ARGS(musb, vaf),
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- TP_STRUCT__entry(
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- __string(name, dev_name(musb->controller))
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- __dynamic_array(char, msg, MUSB_MSG_MAX)
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- ),
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- TP_fast_assign(
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- __assign_str(name, dev_name(musb->controller));
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- vsnprintf(__get_str(msg), MUSB_MSG_MAX, vaf->fmt, *vaf->va);
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- ),
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h- TP_printk("%s: %s", __get_str(name), __get_str(msg))
drivers/usb/musb/musb_trace.h-);
Is that trace mechanism useful though? I think it's somewhat odd.
