[PATCH 1/2] habanalabs: add rate-limit to an error message

From: Oded Gabbay
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 08:24:20 EST


This patch changes the print of an error message about mis-configuration
of the debug infrastructure to be rate-limited, to prevent flooding of
kernel log, as these configuration requests can come at a high rate.
