Reported by checkpatch:
CHECK: Macro argument 'gcam' may be better as '(gcam)' to avoid
precedence issues
Disambiguates '&' (address-of) operator and '->' operator precedence,
accounting for how '(gcam)->bundle->dev' is a 'struct device' and not a
'struct device*', which is required by the dev_{dbg,info,err} driver
model diagnostic macros. Issue found by checkpatch.

I agree with your argument about the way the macro should be
defined. But perhaps these gcam_*() functions could just
be eliminated?
I see 15 calls to gcam_err(), 1 call to gcam_dbg(), and none
to gcam_info(). It would be a different patch, but maybe
you could do that instead?

Thanks for the feedback, Alex!
I thought about refactoring it, but I feel it is worth keeping
the macro around. It acts as an apdater between callers, who
have 'gcam' and want to log and what the dynamic debug macros
expect. Without it, the code gets pretty ugly.

Another idea would be to create a function:
struct device *gcam_dev(struct gb_camera *gcam)
{
return &gcam->bundle->dev;
}
dev_dbg(gcam_dev(gcam), "received metadata ...
(I don't know how to actually compile this code so I haven't tried it).

Yes, I prefer this over the original suggestion. But
even here the gcam_dev() function doesn't add all that
much value; it saves four characters I guess.
Jackson, the basic principle that makes me say I don't
like the wrapper macros is that the wrapper obscures
the simple call(s) to dev_dbg(), etc. If there was
something you wanted to do every time--along with
calling dev_dbg()--then maybe the wrapper would be
helpful, but instead it simply hides the standard call.
Better to have the code just use the functions kernel
programmers recognize.

Dan, Alex I think both of you are spot on.
I like the suggestion of adding 'gcam_dev()' as an accessor
function and directly calling to 'dev_*'. I'm busy this weekend
but will send out a new patch with this change next week.

This really is not an issue at all, as you are dealing with pointers and
structures and nothing else.

Again, the original code here is fine. Getting rid of the gcam_*()
functions would be nice, as hiding dev_*() calls isn't really needed.

Nah, don't bother with adding the gcam_dev() function. Like Alex says,
it's only 4 characters shorter. Just get rid of the macros and do:
dev_err(&gcam->bundle->dev,
"Unsupported unsolicited event: %u\n", op->type);
