Printing info about IDENTIFY page used to be the responsibility of ata_dev_read_id(). As all devices are revalidated after xfer mode configuration, this resulted in two info messages about one device. This patch improves ata_dump_id() such that it can be generally useable and makes printing the responsibility of ata_dev_configure() which has better understanding of what's going on. The IDENTIFY info printing now looks like the following. ata2: dev 1 cfg 49:2f00 53:0007 63:0007 64:0003 75:001f 80:00fe 81:0000 82:346b 83:7d01 84:4023 85:3469 86:3c01 87:4023 88:207f 93:0000 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx>
That doesn't address the issue of an increase in log spam :) When you read kernel messages with dmesg(8), KERN_DEBUG does nothing to decrease the visibility of any set of messages.
So, please just decrease the current output from a doubled line to a single line of data.
Anything more falls under the category of 'implement ap->msg_enable, and then use ata_msg_xxx()'.
