Using the i2c-eg20t driver and call i2cdetect or probe on the bus,
the driver will print a lot of error messages if there was no ACK
received.

i2cdetect normally print a table with all the available devices. If there
is no device on the address, the table will be empty.
Currently with the i2c-eg20t driver, the table is not visible because
the error messages destroy the table.

Error message: pch_i2c_getack return -71

This patch prevent the driver to print the messages to syslog if debug is not set.

Tested on Intel Atom E6xx and Eg20t Chipset.

I'd just kill the pch_err() line altogether:

if (reg_val)
	return -EPROTO;

That is because if you look at the only caller of this function, which is 
pch_i2c_wait_for_check_xfer(), you will see that at the only place where 
pch_i2c_getack() is called there is already pch_dbg():

369         if (pch_i2c_getack(adap)) {
370                 pch_dbg(adap, "Receive NACK for slave address"
371                         "setting\n");
372                 return -EIO;
373         }

btw. (idea for subsequent patch) this pch_dbg() should be fixed to be a one-
liner /wrt the text so we can grep for the error messages. Such text arg should 
never be split in multiple lines in kernel.

Marek Vasut

  But why? I think there a few pch_err message which are interesting to have in syslog,
  without building the dbg driver.

  Ok i will wait a few days for further comments to this patch and then
  i will resend the patch with a one liner message.

See below for explanation why this one particular pch_err() line can go. Sorry 
if I was not clear enough, I meant only this one particular pch_err() line, NOT 
all of them.

Sure, wait at least for Wolfram's consent on this please ;-)

Sorry i misunderstood that. You are absolutly right, thats the best solution for that.
Remove the pch_err at getack so that only the pch_dbg get printed where getack is called.
This should be enough information.

If this is the approach taken, please coalesce the format.
As is there's a missing space between address and setting.
This should be:

		pch_dbg(adap, "Received NACK for slave address setting\n");
