Personally, I find it a bad idea to use variables in macros without 
explicitly passing them in the parameter list. Yes, this macro is already 
using "status" in that way, still, I don't think, that adding more such 
variables is good. Why not make it STATUS_TO_TEXT(a, status, i) and also 
add spaces for better yet readability like printk(" | ")?

Thanks
