Drop custom logging from the vchiq interface.
Mostly of them are replaced with dev_dbg and friends
and/or pr_info and friends.
The debugfs log levels (in 4/4) are mapped to kernel
logs levels (coming from include/linux/kern_levels.h)
Would like some thoughts on it as I am not sure (hence
marking this is RFC)
From drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/TODO:
"""
* Cleanup logging mechanism
The driver should probably be using the standard kernel logging mechanisms
such as dev_info, dev_dbg, and friends.

at first i want to thank you for the work on vchiq so far.
There is something which is not directly related to this series, but it
is also about debugging. The driver has a buffer which is accessed by
it's own DEBUG_* macros. The content of this debug buffer can be dumped
via the /dev/vchiq which is also used by ioctl. I would appreciate to
move this dump feature into a new debugfs entry.
Do you have a full list of the tasks you'd like to see completed ?
(including/or above drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/TODO)
i consider every point except of point 1 (importing new drivers) as
necessary to leave staging.
Additionally there is the additional point (i can add them to the TODO)
above. Unfortunately i don't have a complete insight, how vchiq should
be to be acceptable. Sorry, if i can't help you further with possible
resource planning.
Are some points on the TODO list unclear?
Thanks
It would help to have a clear picture of tasks needed to get this driver
destaged, so that we can support the ISP upstream.
Regards
