[gentoo-kernel] 3.12 Kernels : Regression in the handling of usbatm debug traces

[Eric F. GARIOUD]

Having CONFIG_USB_ATM set and CONFIG_USB_DEBUG not set, syslogs are now overfed with 
kyriads of

<< usbatm_rx_process: xyzt callbacks suppressed >>

messages per minute.

- My understanding is that a commit from Greg K-H caused the trouble :

quoted from https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/2/429 :

Greg Kroah-Hartman (46):...

      USB: usbatm: don't rely on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG      USB: usbatm: remove 
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG dependancy

- My understanding is that Krzysztof Mazur reported that behaviour as part of 

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/26/65

Greg K-H is involved in the discussion and a patch seems to have been produced.
I did not manage to find it commited in 3.12

- Are there good reasons for this patch not to be commited ?
- If not, as I understand 3.12 is longterm and maintained by Jiri Slaby, could someone forward 
him a request to commit Joe Perches' work ?

Gratefully,

Eric
