I am surprised though why you don't see the usage in trace_osnoise.c
though because that was added in 2021 (see diff below).
Anyway, I take it you are Ok with the checkpatch patch. If so, do
provide your Ack tag in advance. We can push from our side only if
needed. There is a chance that we may not need it if we are successful
in having made the conversions to the "good API" in time for the next
merge window.
