ftrace

see:

Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt

A debug message should generally not be emitting a
message just for the sake of documenting when a
function is entered/left.

Sometimes that is useful for initial debugging, but
almost always those debugging printks should not be
left in the code that is pushed to kernel.org.

should not. while converting i have checked the place from where the particular 
function is called, to see if chip is valid there.
if chip is valid, then chip->card->dev should be ok. card is coming from 
snd_card_new and chip from snd_echo_create.

function tracing style uses means?
there are some prints which are printing the function name while printing the 
debug message.
are those function tracing style uses??

All look OK at a quick glance.  There was a recent change to make
card->dev mandatory, so it's there from the very beginning.

True.  Further cleanup patches appreciated.

Are any of these changes going to cause a
null pointer dereference of chip->card->dev?

ftrace exists and is generic.

Several of these seem to be function tracing
style uses and should just be deleted instead.

Thanks, now applied both.  Though, I noticed that there is also a
dev_notice() usage that should be also dev_dbg().  Corrected such
lines in my side.

[PATCH v2 1/2] ALSA: echoaudio: add reference of struct echoaudio

2014-11-03 Thread Sudip Mukherjee
added reference of struct echoaudio to free_firmware function.
this structure will be later used to get a reference of the card
when converting snd_printk to dev_* in the next patch of the series.
