Obviously any kind on "once" restriction would lose information.

In my case, I support devices that need WEXT, thus disabling it in the
configuration would not work. Logging one per application would entail a bit of
work, but that would clear up the log spamming and work for me.

Wouldn't it be simpler to use custom rate limit parameters ? I see the defaults hardcoded in pr_warn_ratelimited() are 10 messages every 5 seconds before the rate limit triggers.

Changing them would require some layer busting, but it is still significantly simpler than caching names in an array.
