pr_debug() or pr_err() or get rid of it altogher and use WARN_ON() or
similar.

What are you actually protecting with this lock?  The moment you drop
it the x->coaddr can change which changes the result you should return
here.

I suspect you either don't need the lock, or you need to lock at a higher
level.

Printing decimal values for CPP macro constants does not make log
messages very readable.
