When we encounter an xHCI host that needs the XHCI_TRUST_TX_LENGTH quirk, the xHCI driver ends up spewing messages about the quirk into dmesg every time a short packet occurs. Change the xHCI driver to rate-limit such warnings. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, that contain a backported version of commit 1530bbc6272d9da1e39ef8e06190d42c13a02733 "xhci: Add new short TX quirk for Fresco Logic host."
