Subject: [PATCH V2] media: stk1160: Fixed high volume of stk1160_dbg messages
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2023 21:43:04 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231122161304.12434-1-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 dev_warn_ratelimited.

Suggested-by: Phillip Potter <phil@philpotter.co.uk>

v2:
Thanks for your suggestions Phillip. I have updated the TODO comment and 
used dev_warn_ratelimited for inclusion of kernel warning.
