Can this be made a generic driver which take log name, log memory buffer address and size to read from debugfs. The one downside of generic solution here is that log format may not be consistent. Some may have binary format of logs which will need further parsing in kernel or userspace. If we need to make such feature generic then it needs to be generic across arm64 / arm32 then and not SOC specific. -- ---Trilok Soni
