Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/6] net-PPP: Replacement of a printk() call by pr_warn()
 in mppe_rekey()

> Markus, are you sure that you cannot use netdev_warn in this case?

No. - I did not become familiar enough with the software infrastructure around
the mppe_rekey() function.

I do not see so far how I could determine a pointer for the first parameter there.
The data structure "ppp_mppe_state" (which is referenced by the input variable
"state") does not contain corresponding context information, does it?

Regards,
Markus
