trace_printk usage in igc_main.c and stmmac_main.c cause kernel notice #73
Description
Hi, we are using yocto with meta-intel on master with linux-intel v6.12.16 and get the following notice when intel igc module is loaded:
[ 5.182021] ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE **
[ 5.187270] ** **

Same on lts-v6.12.17-linux-250228T052357Z and 6.12/linux.
a4f7d08 is the origin of the problem. This commit was introduced 4 years ago as a temporary mechanism to log tx timestamps.
kernel.org does not have this commit and therefore does not print this message.
Who needs these timestamps? Or should it rather be removed from a lts kernel branch?
Thanks in advance
Peter
