I really do like the ability to dump the registers.  It has come in handy
a couple of times while bringing up the board.  I do not know how hard
I would push for them, but I do not see them as having much down side
and I do know they have proven useful for me.

At this point, I have interpretted both your's and Wolfgang's comment as
a suggestion.  I do not know how this group of developers works and if
I should be taking that suggestion as a dope-slap indicating I should
drop this right now because I am an idiot or if the patch just leaves
a bad taste in your mouth.  Would either or both of you please clarify.

I assume you mean netdev_dbg.  If that were the case, then setting
CONFIG_CAN_DEBUG_DEVICES would bring these printks back and that was
explicitly stated as undesirable.  Am I understanding this wrong?

If not, I am going to fall back to netdev_info instead and leave the
#ifdef FLEXCAN_DEBUG.  Will that work?

Thanks,
Robin
