Hi Jakub,

Thanks for the comment. I feel these two are a bit separate. We try to push
important messages to MFW, not debug data. And all these messages are as well
perfectly being reported on device level error printouts, they are not kind of
lost.

And for devlink, we anyway will need all the above infrastructure, to
eventually implement devlink dumps and other features.

Or, may be I didn't get your point?

Thanks,
  Igor
