This patch removes the unnecessary error messages on failing to
allocate memory and replaces pr_err/printk with dev_dbg/dev_info
as applicable.

Why to keep __func__ here, dev_dbg already does it for you.

Good catch. I would actually consider also changing this to

dev_err(dev, FW_BUG "TCPA log area empty\n");

If TCPA exists but it's empty, that's most likely a FW bug.

I tried to trace through dev_dbg
- http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/device.h#L1195
which further calls dev_printk from 
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/base/core.c#L2199

I couldn't find it printing __func__ anywhere.. I just see it printing 
"driver" and "dev" as tpm : tpm0.

Please let me know if I am missing something

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry I mixed up in my last response. You can filter in dynamic
debug with a function name but doesn't print function name.

Anyway I would recommend to change this to dev_err in a way that
I explained in my response.

If it can be possibly a FW bug, should it fail the probe also just like 
-ENOMEM error ?

I think so but I hold for second opinion on this. I mean wouldn't
it seem like a bit broken situation where TCPA tabe would exist but
would also be empty?

Hmm, is it possible for this to be firmware implementation dependent ?

Let me put it this way. Why would anyone expose TCPA to the user space
that is empty? What would be the point?

If I understand correctly,  the reserved memory for event log would be 
allocated much earlier and firmware would directly write to this 
allocated memory. So, if there is a firmware bug, and events are not 
recorded, it will get exposed to userspace as empty event log and this 
might also help applications to know that it is broken.  Is there any 
wrong assumption here ?

I think the right question to ask is can event log be legally empty?
If not, then FW_BUG should be used here.
