Apologies this is the commit message not quite keeping pace with the code base. Originally when I wrote the patch the error message after do_bank_switch were a "dev_err(bus->dev", that was then fixed up in commit d014688eb373 ("soundwire: stream: remove bus->dev from logs on multiple buses"). > There's just no other way to report issues, and I don't see why one > would remove such logs and fail silently. > > I just don't get what you are trying to address. > The current code would say produce something like: Bank switch failed: -5 _sdw_prepare_stream: do_bank_switch failed: -5 I am sensing you are keen to keep both error messages, so fair enough I will drop that. Although worth noting originally before that patch I mention above this would have been: Bank switch failed: -5 do_bank_switch failed: -5 Which is really what I was attempting to address, that is clearly redundant. Now with the addition of the function in the print I guess it is slightly less redundant. > > This also allows clean up of a couple of if's and variable initialisations > > that were only there to silence potentially uninitialised variable > > warnings on the bus variable. > > That should be a separate patch IMHO. > I will trim the patch down to leave the duplicate error messages and just remove those bits.
