Using line numbers in debug messages is very cumbersome. Some people
cherry pick patches, have their own changes and whatnot which will make
it more difficult to read the debug logs. Isn't there any better way to
do this?

I would prefer to explicitly wait for tx credit replenishment in
ath10k_wmi_cmd_send() after a command is sent instead of all these
prints. This way you can get a full call trace if it times out.

Would that be a performance problem (by effectively allowing only a single
item to be sent to the firmware at any given time?)

The only thing that may suffer here is wmi mgmt tx but I wouldn't
consider that performance critical.

In that case, why use credits at all?

Thanks,
Ben
