Subject: driver-core: extend dev_printk() to pass structured data
-This patch extends printk() to be able to attach arbitrary key/value
-pairs to logged messages, to carry machine-readable data which
-describes the context of the log message at time of its
-creation. Users of the log can retrieve, along with the human-readable
-message, a key/value dictionary to reliably identify specific devices,
-drivers, subsystems, classes and types of messages.
-
-The output of dev_printk() is reliably machine-readable now. In addition
-to the printed plain text message, it creates a log dictionary with the
-these properties:
+Extends dev_printk() to attach a dictionary with a device identifier
+and the driver core subsystem name to logged messages, which makes
+dev_prink() reliable machine-readable. In addition to the printed
+plain text message, it creates these properties:
SUBSYSTEM= - the driver-core subsytem name
DEVICE=
