Subject: [PATCH WIP v2] i2c: add tracepoints to aid debugging in
i2c-core-base
Add tracepoints to i2c-core-base.c file to help trace
and debug I2C device probe failures.
The new trace points are:
- i2c_device_probe_debug: records non-failure routines
e.g. IRQ 0.
- i2c_device_probe_complete: records failed & successful
probbes with appropriate trace message.
To support operation of these tracepoints an enum
was added that stores log message for debug and failure.

Hello,
This patch adds tracepoints to i2c-core-base to aid with debugging I2C probing failrues.
The motivation for this comes from my work in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025:
"ChromeOS Platform Input Device Quality Monitoring"
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/projects/uCdIgK7K
This is my first submission to the Linux kernel, so any feedback is welcome.
---
Changes in v2:
- Refactored i2c_device_probe_failed to i2c_device_probe_complete
to support both successful and failed probes.
- Fixed formatting for TRACE_EVENT().
- Used enum instead of string variable for "reason".
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250806-refactor-add-i2c-tracepoints-v1-1-d1d39bd6fb57@gmail.com
