A combination of printk() followed by WARN_ON() macro can be simplified using a single WARN(1, ...) macro. Patch change suggested by warn.cocci Coccinelle semantic patch. Signed-off-by: Deepak R Varma <drv@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Remove printk() from the WARN macro to avoid build warning - I missed to build the change before sending the earlier version which results in a build error due to incorrect brace balancing.
