[PATCH v4] staging: greybus: bootrom: replace dev_info with dev_dbg for firmware name
Posted by Bentley Blacketer 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The original dev_info call was intentionally temporary, with a FIXME
comment noting it should be downgraded to dev_dbg once modules with
valid VID/PID values were common. Project Ara was cancelled in 2016,
so that time has long passed.

Remove the FIXME comment and downgrade to dev_dbg as originally intended.

Tested via code inspection only, as Project Ara hardware is no longer
available.

But other systems are now using greybus, and there was at least 2
different phone models that shipped with this code.  So are you sure
that there is no user for this anymore?

You can run greybus on a beaglebone device today.

You have an extra ' ' in there still.

Why did you drop the blank line too?
