Subject[PATCH V2] media: stk1160: Fixed high volume of stk1160_dbg messages
Date
The function stk1160_dbg gets called too many times, which causes
the output to get flooded with messages. Since stk1160_dbg uses
printk, it is now replaced with dev_warn_ratelimited.

v2:
Thanks for your suggestions Phillip. I have updated the TODO comment and
used dev_warn_ratelimited for inclusion of kernel warning.
