Subject: [012/129] ALSA: usb-audio - Avoid flood of frame-active debug messages

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 80c8a2a372599e604b04a9c568952fe39cd1851d upstream.

With some buggy devices, the usb-audio driver may give "frame xxx active"
kernel messages too often.  Better to keep it as debug-only using
snd_printdd(), and also add the rate-limit for avoiding floods.
