The usage of in_interrupt() in non-core code is phased out. The debugging macros in these drivers use in_interrupt() to print 'I' or 'U' depending on the return value of in_interrupt(). While 'U' is confusing at best and 'I' is not really describing the actual context (hard interupt, soft interrupt, bottom half disabled section) these debug macros originate from the pre ftrace kernel era and their value today is questionable. They probably should be removed completely. The macros weere added initially for ipw2100 and then spreaded when the driver was forked. Remove the in_interrupt() usage at least..

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
