Hello. Perhaps my question is naive, but why does there need to be a
distinction between what log_dev() and aprint_*() do? Why not just change
aprint_* functions under the hood to use the log facilities of the kernel
as appropriate. then as a device driver writer, I don't need to change my
code to keep it working in the netbsd tree nor do I need to worry about
when which is appropriate to use. Adding a new logging function wich is
essentially the same as a function as is already being used, I'm talking
from a users' perspective, not a technical perspective, seems like a lot of
unnecessary code churn for very little gain. As long as I know how to make
the kernel squawk when I need it to, I don't much care if it uses log() or
printf(), so long as the messages get to a place where I can see them.
Ok, there, I've asked. I'm prepared to be enlightened as to the error
of my ways. Lol.
