Subject: [PATCH 3.2 015/131] usbcore: don't log on consecutive debounce
 failures of the same port

3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.de>

commit 5ee0f803cc3a0738a63288e4a2f453c85889fbda upstream.

Some laptops have an internal port for a BT device which picks
up noise when the kill switch is used, but not enough to trigger
printk_rlimit(). So we shouldn't log consecutive faults of this kind.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust context
 - Error message already includes the port number]
