Drop, it is not useful at all. Srsly, we had already long enough talk,

And in this long talk using dev_dbg() was one of the suggestions for a compromise. For me this is ok.

There is no single benefit of such debug statement. sysfs already
provides you this information. Simple entry/exit  is provided by
tracing. You duplicate existing interfaces without any benefit, because
this prints nothing more.

There might be a (small) value if you want to know when during boot the device becomes available. So having a dev_dbg() that can be enabled dynamically (assuming DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y) and isn't in the way otherwise might be justified. IMHO a dev_dbg is lightweight enough that *I* won't continue the discussion.

Best regards
Uwe
