Just drop the "Finally, ", the indefinite article "an" before the plural noun "arguments" and the above sentence will accurately describe what the patch is about.

I had a look at that, but I don't think we can in this case. The 'dev' structure you see above is of type 'struct eth_dev' and not 'struct device'. In other places in the driver where dev_warn is used the device structure comes from the 'struct usb_gadget' but FWICT this is not initialised in the above function. Jon

The 'dev' > structure you see above is of type 'struct eth_dev' and not 'struct device'. Then use the networking macro for this. And underneath it all is a real struct device anyway, so it should be possible. > In other places in the driver where dev_warn is used the device structure > comes from the 'struct usb_gadget' but FWICT this is not initialised in the > above function. There's a structure somewhere in here, NEVER use raw pr_* calls in a driver, especially for a message like this. It needs to point to the correct device that is making the message, otherwise it's impossible to know what is going on (and is why we created those macros decades ago...) thanks, greg k-h

The print in in gether_setup_name_default() does not provide any useful information because a random MAC address will always be generated when calling this function. Rather than removing the print, update the print to show MAC address that is generated which is similar to other ethernet drivers. Finally, given that the strings 'self' and 'host' are static we do not need to pass these strings as an arguments.
