SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 3/3] tty: n_gsm: add parameter negotiation support

Thank you for your review.

There is no place within this driver that uses dev_*() at the moment except
for the timeout function of the network stack (gsm_mux_net_tx_timeout()).
I do not mind either way, but I would prefer a consistent variant within
this driver. Therefore, I suggest switching from pr_*() to dev_*() in a
separate patch.

> And why is it not just dev_dbg()/

I used pr_err() instead of pr_dbg() due to the fact that this mismatch will
most likely make it impossible to use the n_gsm driver with the connected
device as it stands. I am okay to replace it with pr_info() though.

These are related to the user API. Therefore, I do not mind changing these
to debug level.

Again, I am only reusing what is already there in the driver. To avoid
segmentation I suggest cleaning this up in a future patch.

Same as above. The connected device appears to be incompatible with the
based standard. It will most likely not work. Should it be debug level,
nevertheless?

I could not find a hint that __func__ is included in dev_dbg(). What is
included is the subsystem name and the device name but not the function
name within the driver according to include/linux/dev_printk.h. Other
device drivers like usb/dwc2/core.c also include __func__ here. But it
appears to be possible to automate this by re-defining dev_fmt().

Please let me know if you prefer me to segment the current printk-related
code by introducing dev_*() or keep this change open for a later patch.

Best regards,
Daniel Starke
