So where do we go from here?  I agree that dmesg is not necessarily a
great choice for these sorts of events and if they went somewhere else,
maybe I wouldn't have the same concerns about them generating user
confusion or contributing to DoS vectors from userspace drivers.  As it
is though, we have known cases where benign events generate confusing
logging messages, which seems like a regression.  Drivers didn't ask
for a link_change handler, but nor did they ask that the link state to
their device be monitored so closely.  Maybe this not only needs some
sort of change to the logging mechanism, but also an opt-in by the
driver if they don't expect runtime link changes.  Thanks,

Is there anyway to detect autonomous hardware management support and
not report link state changes in that situation?

I thought there were some capability bits for these.
