Subject: [PATCH] cxl/mbox: Add debug messages for supported mailbox commands

Only unsupported mailbox commands are reported in debug messages. A
list of supported commands is useful too. Change debug messages to
also report the opcodes of supported commands.

On that occasion also add missing trailing newlines.

Hi Robert,
I wonder if you can get this info another way. When I try this
loading cxl_test today, I get 99 new messages. Is this going to
create too much noise with debug kernels?

There are 26 commands supported by the driver, so I assume there are
at least 4 cards in your system? To me the number of messages looks ok
for a debug kernel. And, most kernels have dyndbg enabled allowing to
enable only messages of interest? Esp. if card initialization fails
there is no way to get this information from userland. The list of
unsupported commands is of less use than the one for supported. That
is the intention for the change.

Thanks,

-Robert

Seems reasonable to me.

cxl_walk_cel() job is to create the enabled_cmds list for the device.
How about we use that language in the message, like:

set_bit(cmd->info.id, cxlds->enabled_cmds);
- dev_dbg(cxlds->dev, "Opcode 0x%04x supported by driver\n", opcode);
+ dev_dbg(cxlds->dev, "Opcode 0x%04x enabled\n", opcode);

Because when we say, "Opcode 0x%04x supported by driver\n", that comes
with the assumption that the device supported it too. By saying
'enabled', it's clear device and driver are aligned.

Yes, that message is more meaningful.

The debug message looks ok to me, I will just note that there has been
consideration for exporting the enabled commands list via
CXL_MEM_QUERY_COMMANDS [1]. I wouldn't be opposed to someone enabling that
as well, just need to be clear with userspace that not all kernels will
populate that status.
