[PATCH] i2c: tegra: remove warning dump if timeout happen in transfer

[Laxman Dewangan]

If timeout error occurs in the i2c transfer then it was dumping warning
of call stack.

Remove the warning dump as there is may be possibility that some slave
devices are busy and not responding the i2c communication.

I think WARN_ON has a unlikely.

If you could do a profiling and have the unlikely.

BTW thats not an objection to the patch though.

The thing is: Timeouts can be expected on an I2C bus. Devices can be
busy, that's fine. So, no need for a WARN. I'm even thinking of asking
to remove the dev_err here, or at least change it into dev_warn, but
haven't made up my mind yet.

I'd like to have the patch extended. Currently, i2c-tegra is the only
I2C user of BUG and BUG_ON. Could you maybe extend the patch to handle
those situations more gracefully while we are at it? From a glimpse,
these situations don't need a complete halt of the kernel?

Thanks,

While that's probably useful, surely that's a separate patch?

Yes, can be argued. Patch applied to for-next, thanks!
