[PATCH 7/7] drm/dp_helper: Rate limit timeout errors from drm_dp_i2c_do_msg()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Timeouts can be errors, but timeouts are also usually normal behavior
and happen a lot. Since the kernel already lets us know when we're
suppressing messages due to rate limiting, rate limit timeout errors so
we don't make too much noise in the kernel log.
