Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/10] lan78xx: Limit number of driver warning messages

Device removal can result in a large burst of driver warning messages
(20 - 30) sent to the kernel log. Most of these are register read/write
failures.

This change limits the rate at which these messages are emitted.
