[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: suppress atomic commit error message under gvt-g env

[Zhi Wang]

Hi Ville:
     Thanks for the reply!  :P

Is this error message for the end-user or for debug? If this is for the 
end-user, only warning one time should be better? I saw a case on 
Celeron, if this happens, usually this would happen again and agin, the 
error message could fill all the dmesg. If this is only for debug, 
should DRM_DEBUG_KMS() would be better?

Anyway, thanks for the reply! :P

Thanks,
Zhi.
