I can't tell exactly from the discussion whether this is the version that got
merged into 5.7 or not, but it does match the commit message.

This patch introduces several trace_printk() which AFAIK is intended for
debugging only and shouldn't make it into mainline kernels.

It causes this big message to be printed to the log too

Shouldn't this be replaced with one of pr_*() variants instead?

Thanks
