Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] brcmfmac: Silence error messages about unsupported firmware features

From: Dmitry Osipenko <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 00:15:49 +0300

KMSG is flooded with error messages about unsupported firmware
features of BCM4329 chip. The GET_ASSOCLIST error became especially
noisy with a newer NetworkManager version of Ubuntu 21.04. Turn the
noisy error messages into info messages and print them out only once.

v2: - Switched to use generic printk helper as was suggested by
      Andy Shevchenko in a comment to v1.

    - Silenced message about the rxchain, which is also unsupported
      by BCM4329.
