Why so ? I've followed a recent discussion where some people pointed out they disliked WARN*() due to panic-on-warn, but I didn't see any conclusion there that deprecated WARN*(). > Could you continue to use pr_warn_once() > for this (or dev_warn_one())? I think a WARN_ON() is the right option here. A failure indicates a clear driver bug, we should be as loud as possible to make sure it gets noticed during development. > > + > > + if (!is_media_entity_v4l2_subdev(link->source->entity)) { > > + pr_warn_once("source of link '%s':%u->'%s':%u is not a V4L2 sub-device, driver bug!\n", > > link->source->entity->name, link->source->index, > > link->sink->entity->name, link->sink->index); > > return 0; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
