Yes, I did that and learned stuff, too. My summary of the discussion was:

- you mentioned some drawbacks you saw (like the mixture of trace output
and printk output)
- most of them look like addressed to me? (e.g. Steven showed a way to redirect
printk to trace)
- you posted your version (which was, however, marked as "not user friendly"
even by yourself)
- The discussion stalled over having two approaches

So, I thought reposting would be a good way of finding out if your
concerns were addressed in the discussion or not. If I overlooked
something, I am sorry for that. Still, my intention is to continue the
discussion, not to ignore it. Because as it stands, we don't have such a
debugging mechanism in place currently, and with people working with DT
overlays, I'd think it would be nice to have.

Kind regards,

Wolfram
