[re: PATCH v2 00/15 - 06/11] dyndbg: treat comma as a token separator

[Jim Cromie]

Treat comma as a token terminator, just like a space.  This allows a
user to avoid quoting hassles when spaces are otherwise needed:

 :#> modprobe drm dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p\;class,DRM_UT_KMS,+p

or as a boot arg:

  drm.dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p  # todo: support multi-query here

Given the myriad ways a boot-line can be assembled and then passed
in/down/around shell based tools, if the >control parser treats commas
like spacees, this would allow side-stepping all sorts of quoting
hassles thru those layers.
