[PATCH 3/3] spi: tegra210-quad: add rate limiting and simplify timeout error message
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 11:50:32 EST
On malfunctioning hardware, timeout error messages can appear thousands
of times, creating unnecessary system pressure and log bloat. This patch
makes two improvements:
1. Replace dev_err() with dev_err_ratelimited() to prevent log flooding
when hardware errors persist
2. Remove the redundant timeout value parameter from the error message,
as 'ret' is always zero in this error path
These changes reduce logging overhead while maintaining necessary error
reporting for debugging purposes.
