Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: sysfs: ratelimit property read error message
Git-commit: 87a2b65fc855e6be50f791c2ebbb492541896827
Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc1
References: bsc#1051510

This adds rate limiting to the message that is printed when reading a
power supply property via sysfs returns an error. This will prevent
userspace applications from unintentionally dDOSing the system by
continuously reading a property that returns an error.
