At the moment the port over-current message is
displayed only if the over-current condition is permanent.

But in case of permanent short-circuit or
over-current, some USB power-distribution switches
(such as the TPS20xx, etc.), after the over-current
detection and the consequent shutdown, return
in the normal state.

So, in these cases, the over-current error message
never appears.

To overcome this problem, the "over-current condition"
message is displayed even after some over-current events.

Please use the full 72 columns of the changelog text.

I do not think this change is part of this :(

What is 15?

This is just going to be noisy, what can a user do with this?

thanks,

It's an empiric value to have a message about every 1.5 - 2 seconds (100ms * 15).
Ok, this value is not clear; I can change this fixed number in something like this:
...
#define USB_OC_COOL_DOWN_TIME		100	/* ms */
#define USB_OC_REPEATED_MSG_DELAY	1500	/* ms */
...
...
msleep(COOLING_DOWN_TIME);	/* Cool down */
...
    if ((status & USB_PORT_STAT_OVERCURRENT) ||
        !(port_dev->over_current_count %
           (USB_OC_REPEATED_MSG_DELAY / USB_OC_COOL_DOWN_TIME)))
	dev_err(&port_dev->dev, "over-current condition\n");

Right, it's a redundant information.
