This sort of information is only generally useful when debugging.

No need to have these sprinkled through the kernel log otherwise.

This one is clearly a warning as this should not happen. See the
comments around that.

Maybe, but distro people might have opinions on that.

Thanks,

The trouble is, even if these are real warnings, they have an affect
on performance on real products.  To the point where so much logging
builds up during pre-release testing, that it sets off the watchdog(s)
on some high profile consumer devices.

What would you suggest?

I'm fine with making the second one debug, but the first one really
should not trigger at all.

Thanks,

Understood.  I'll follow-up with a subsequent patch and report back
with your advice.  Thanks Thomas.
