OK, apologies.

Yes it is quite understandable but it is less clear. I repeat my comment here:
When reading the spec and the code it is more obvious that here                
we are testing for the value in bits D6..D0 to be a valid iin_bTag return.
(See Table 7 in the USBTMC-USB488 spec.)

What is your motivation for

 if (data->iin_buffer[0] & 0x7e)

?

I am not using dynamic debug but when I enable static debug I get:

[ 1438.562458] usbtmc 1-1:1.0: Enter ioctl_read_stb iin_ep_present: 1

on the console log for
 
dev_dbg(dev, "Enter ioctl_read_stb iin_ep_present: %d\n",
		data->iin_ep_present);

So if I don't print the function it does not appear on the log.

Yes, will propagate it.
