Just a kind reminder!
This is the second time this patch has been sent and we have seen
some potential use of the drm_dbg_ratelimited().
But this patch does not actually add a user. So it is dead code at this
point, which is not allowed.
If you have code that wants to use such a helper then the helper should be
part of the patch that adds that code.
this is the kind of "Argh! If I had it!" patch. At the 3/4th
"Argh! If I had it!" then you decide to send it but don't
remember for which case you needed it.
But you should have sent it on the 1st patch set that wanted it.
And if you have code already merged that would benefit from it, then
update that code to use it and post that as a patch together with this
implementation.
And note that if your code is GT related, then it should use
gt_dbg_ratelimited not drm_dbg_ratelimited.
John.
I'm sure that once this goes in won't be long until poeple will
start using it. In any case, if it doesn't go in I will keep it
ready until the case comes.
