On my Dell Inspiron N4010, one of these messages is printed every five

It's not the kind of thing you want to quieten since in most cases it is
stuff you want to know about.
Isn't it a normal thing, however? If I understand it correctly, this
driver allows you to use a bit more power but throttles back if you are
using too much or it gets too hot. Thus, there should be nothing wrong
or even unusual with the situations where these messages appear.
if (ret)
- dev_info(&ips->dev->dev,
+ dev_dbg(&ips->dev->dev,
"MCP power or thermal limit exceeded\n");
Probably better to ratelimit it. Being told it occurs is important, being
told every five seconds is indeed excessive.
Agreed. Even if it does not happen when idle, it should happen a lot
while playing a CPU-heavy and GPU-heavy 3D game.
