Avri,
I still don't understand, this change doesn't break you current parser.
if you still trace "send", "complete", "CDB", "query_send/complte",
they are still there, doesn't change. I suggest you just run on your
system. see if there is conflict.

Regarding your suggestion:
This is not problem now, we just change this definition.

do you mean just "send" and "complete" or all?

#define
UFS_CMD_TRACE_STRINGS                                   \              
          
        EM(UFS_CMD_SEND,        "send_req")                         \  
                                  
        EM(UFS_CMD_COMP,        "complete_rsp")                     \  

below also need add "req" and "rsp"?

                                  
        EM(UFS_DEV_COMP,        "dev_complete_rsp")                 \  
                                  
        EM(UFS_QUERY_SEND,      "query_send")                   \      
                              
        EM(UFS_QUERY_COMP,      "query_complete")               \      
                              
        EM(UFS_QUERY_ERR,       "query_complete_err")           \      
                              
        EM(UFS_TM_SEND,         "tm_send")                      \      
                              
        EM(UFS_TM_COMP,         "tm_complete")                  \      
                              
        EM(UFS_TM_ERR,          "tm_complete_err")
