That said, in this case, you can delay the printing to the buffer with: diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-dbg.c b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-dbg.c index d6d74d2..fd90ccd 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-dbg.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-dbg.c @@ -254,7 +255,7 @@ dbg_command_buf (char *buf, unsigned len, const char *label, u32 command) ); } -static int +static char * dbg_port_buf (char *buf, unsigned len, const char *label, int port, u32 status) { char *sig; @@ -267,7 +268,7 @@ dbg_port_buf (char *buf, unsigned len, const char *label, int port, u32 status) default: sig = "?"; break; } - return scnprintf (buf, len, + scnprintf (buf, len, "%s%sport:%d status %06x %d %s%s%s%s%s%s " "sig=%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s", label, label [0] ?
