[PATCH] ASoC: hdac_hdmi: Rate limit logging on connection and disconnection

[Mark Brown]

We currently log parse failures for ELD data and some disconnection events
as errors without rate limiting. These log messages can be triggered very
frequently in some situations, especially ELD parsing when there is nothing
connected to a HDMI port which will generate:

hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.1.auto: HDMI: Unknown ELD version 0

While there's doubtless work that could be done on reducing the number of
connection notification callbacks it's possible these may be legitimately
generated by poor quality physical connections so let's use rate limiting
to mitigate the log spam for the parse errors and lower the severity for
disconnect logging to debug level.

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: hdac_hdmi: Rate limit logging on connection and disconnection
      commit: c4ca928a6db1593802cd945f075a7e21dd0430c1

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
