Subject: [PATCH V3] media: stk1160: Fixed high volume of stk1160_dbg messages
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2023 13:07:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231125073738.649948-1-ghanshyam1898@gmail.com> (raw)

The function stk1160_dbg gets called too many times, which causes
the output to get flooded with messages. Since stk1160_dbg uses
printk, it is now replaced with printk_ratelimited directly.

V3:
Fixed the issue with my patch needing previous versions being applied
first.

Used printk_ratelimited instead of dev_warn_ratelimited because
of compiler error "incompatible pointer type".

V2:
To add KERN_WARNING in printk_ratelimited, and later as per warning by
the checkpatch script, replaced  printk_ratelimited with 
dev_warn_ratelimited.

V1:
The function stk1160_dbg gets called too many times, which causes
the output to get flooded with messages. Since stk1160_dbg uses
printk, it is now replaced with dev_warn_ratelimited.
