Subject: staging: rtl8188eu: fix incorrect ERROR tags from logs
From: Galo Navarro <anglorvaroa@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 401579c22ccbcb54244494069973e64b1fe980d2 ]
Several lifecycle events in the rtl8188eu driver are logged using the
DBG_88E_LEVEL macro from rtw_debug.h, which is tagged as ERROR
regardless of the actual level. Below are dmesg excerpts after loading
and unloading the module, the messages are misleading as there was no
error.
[517434.916239] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8188eu
[517435.680653] R8188EU: ERROR indicate disassoc
[517437.122606] R8188EU: ERROR assoc success
[517797.735611] usbcore: deregistering interface driver r8188eu
[517797.736069] R8188EU: ERROR indicate disassoc
Remove the ERROR prefix from the logs. After the patch, logs are:
[517949.873976] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8188eu
