Agreed.
We want to print these messages only to get User's attention.
Agreed.
If your concern is that the last message is "down", then we should be having a static variable and print up or ghost message only once (when we toggle from down to up/ghost).
You do have a static variable, so that messages are only printed when the status changes. However, because of the missing MSG() calls when the status is PATH_UP and PATH_GHOST, then the string printed is "path down", when it should be "path up" or "path ghost".
I believe that the patch is good. The MSG() calls will change the message string, and then the higher layer will notice the status change, and print the message.
Please check the code and correct me if I am wrong.
