Yep. Good idea.
I'm currently looking at print_ddi_port() and the one-liner is already
quite long and I don't know we would be able to come up with a good
abbreviation to put there.
Probably just print on its own line?
E.g.:
dedicated_external = intel_bios_encoder_is_dedicated_external(devdata);
if (dedicated_external)
drm_dbg_kms(display->drm,
"Port %c is dedicated external\n");
Do you think printing for dyn_port_over_tc is also useful?
