I think there is some disconnect here. I'm finding that the raw register values are essential for debugging of this driver. The registers tracing is very trivial and self-explanatory, just can't see any better variant. The registers documentation is available for everyone, you can go to NVIDIA website and download it (after registration). We have registers tracing in other Tegra drivers, please see for the quick example: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/staging/media/tegra-vde/trace.h https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/trace.h It's the first time I'm seeing complains about debug tracing and currently having hard time trying to understand yours point. > Also, it is not proper way that front patch adds the some code > and then later patch removes the additional code in the same series. > Before sending the patches, you can renew them. Okay.
