Starting with v4.15-rc2 commit ad67b74d2469d9 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"), enabling debug prints in sh-sci.c would generate output like below confusing the users who try to sneak into the internals of the driver: sh-sci e6e88000.serial: sci_request_dma: TX: got channel (____ptrval____) sh-sci e6e88000.serial: sci_request_dma: mapped 4096@(____ptrval____) to 0x00000006798bf000 sh-sci e6e88000.serial: sci_request_dma: RX: got channel (____ptrval____) sh-sci e6e88000.serial: sci_dma_tx_work_fn: (____ptrval____): 0...2, cookie 2 There are two possible fixes for that: - get rid of '%p' prints if they don't reveal any useful information - s/%p/%px/, since it is unlikely we have any concerns leaking the pointer values when running a debug/non-production kernel Go second route to preserve original debug output and minimize the diff.
