nit: if you want to add tracing can we also add the device name as
well? Something like:
TP_PROTO(struct device *dev, ...),
TP_ARGS(dev, ...),
TP_STRUCT__ENTRY(
__string(dev_name, dev_name(dev))
...
).
...
This will help differentiate the device it is originating from in
a multi GPU situation.
Kind regards,
