CHECK: Macro argument 'gcam' may be better as '(gcam)' to avoid precedence issues
I agree with your argument about the way the macro should be defined. But perhaps these gcam_*() functions could just be eliminated?
I see 15 calls to gcam_err(), 1 call to gcam_dbg(), and none to gcam_info(). It would be a different patch, but maybe you could do that instead?
-AlexDisambiguates '&' (address-of) operator and '->' operator precedence, accounting for how '(gcam)->bundle->dev' is a 'struct device' and not a 'struct device*', which is required by the dev_{dbg,info,err} driver model diagnostic macros. Issue found by checkpatch.

Thanks for the feedback, Alex!
I thought about refactoring it, but I feel it is worth keeping the macro around. It acts as an apdater between callers, who have 'gcam' and want to log and what the dynamic debug macros expect. Without it, the code gets pretty ugly.
Another idea would be to create a function:
struct device *gcam_dev(struct gb_camera *gcam) { return &gcam->bundle->dev; }
dev_dbg(gcam_dev(gcam), "received metadata ...
(I don't know how to actually compile this code so I haven't tried it).
Yes, I prefer this over the original suggestion. But even here the gcam_dev() function doesn't add all that much value; it saves four characters I guess.
Jackson, the basic principle that makes me say I don't like the wrapper macros is that the wrapper obscures the simple call(s) to dev_dbg(), etc. If there was something you wanted to do every time--along with calling dev_dbg()--then maybe the wrapper would be helpful, but instead it simply hides the standard call. Better to have the code just use the functions kernel programmers recognize.
