[PATCH 0/3] spi: tegra210-quad: Improve reset and tx failures

[Breno Leitao]

I maintain several hosts with tegra210-quad controllers, some of which
experience data transmission failures. Debugging these issues has been
challenging due to excessive log messages from the driver.

All my tegra210-quad systems report "device reset failed" at boot and
during recovery attempts. Upon investigation, I found this message is
misleading - the driver isn't failing to reset the device, but rather
device_reset() returns non-zero because no _RST ACPI method exists. The
first patch replaces this with device_reset_optional(), which doesn't
return negative values when ACPI handlers are absent.

Additionally, when transmission failures occur, the kernel logs become
flooded with repetitive warnings and error messages from tegra210-quad,
making them nearly unreadable. The second and third patches in this
series address this by:

 1. Using WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON to reduce stack trace spam
 2. Rate-limiting error messages and removing redundant information

These improvements maintain necessary error reporting while significantly
reducing log noise, making debugging of actual issues more feasible.
